Ogunquit’s Marginal Way is a walk that winds along the rocky shore, is neatly paved, and the treacherous cliffs are, in places, safely fenced. There are 30 memorial benches on which to rest and a fake lighthouse at the halfway point. The path leads from the downtown shopping area to the once-quaint fishing village in Perkins Cove, now an outdoor mall of jewelry, clothing and candle boutiques. I'm told that a lot of white-haired ladies in boldly-printed sweatshirts do make the hike, so many, in fact, that in summer the scenic walk is wall-to-wall tourists with their arms full of purchases. But there weren't so many of them on our trip. The air along the Atlantic was crisp, and the view out to the sea was beautiful. The trail is just a mile and a quarter long, and well worth the walk.
