Hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals, and cabins in Ogunquit. Compare real pricing and availability across all major booking sites.
Ogunquit is a walkable, welcoming beach town built around a 3.5-mile beach and the cliffside Marginal Way. Where you stay comes down to how close you want to be to the sand and the village versus how much you want to spend. Here's the rundown.
Best for: Walking to the village, restaurants, and the Marginal Way
The center of the action, near the start of the Marginal Way cliff walk and a short stroll or trolley ride to the beach and Perkins Cove. Convenient and lively, and among the pricier areas in summer.
Best for: Families who want the sand out the door
Closest to the long main beach, with hotels and rentals a short walk from the water — ideal if beach time is the priority.
Best for: A scenic little harbor and quieter setting
A picturesque working cove with dining and galleries at the far end of the Marginal Way. Lodging is limited and on the pricier side, but the setting is hard to beat.
Best for: Value motels with trolley access
Along Route 1 toward Wells you'll find classic motels at lower rates; the seasonal trolley makes it easy to reach the beach and village without parking downtown.
Ogunquit is a popular, seasonal beach town, so summer rates climb and the best spots fill fast — the map above shows live prices for your dates. Motels along Route 1 toward Wells are the value alternative, and shoulder-season rates drop a lot.
The season runs roughly Memorial Day through Columbus Day, peaking in summer with big beach crowds. Late spring and September–October are cheaper and calmer. Winter is very quiet with many closures. Ogunquit is known as a welcoming, LGBTQ-friendly destination.

Read the Ogunquit guide →Downtown/Shore Road is best for walking to the village and the Marginal Way, the Beach Street area for being closest to the sand, Perkins Cove for a scenic quiet setting, and Route 1 toward Wells for value with trolley access.
Yes — in summer, downtown parking is limited and expensive. The seasonal trolley loops between the village, the beach, Perkins Cove, and Route 1, so a Route 1 motel plus the trolley is an easy, cheaper combo.
Generally yes. Motels and cottages in neighboring Wells run lower than in-town Ogunquit, and the two are connected by the trolley in season.
July and August are peak beach season and busiest. Late spring and September–October are quieter and cheaper while the weather's still good; most of the town closes down in winter.
