Ogunquit Insider for June 24, 2025

With temps in the 80s, summer has officially arrived and Ogunquit is bursting with energy! This is the season when early morning walks along the Marginal Way feel extra refreshing, Main Beach is dotted with colorful umbrellas, and restaurants buzz with visitors savoring fresh seafood and cocktails on sunny patios. Whether you're here for a weekend or a whole month, there's no better time to soak in the best of coastal Maine.

4th of July: Fireworks on the Beach

The Fourth of July in Ogunquit is one of our favorite days of the year! As evening approaches, the beach transforms into a lively celebration—families and friends set up blankets, play music, and enjoy the long stretch of twilight before the big show. The fireworks display, sponsored by the
Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center
, is absolutely spectacular and lasts over 30 minutes, lighting up the ocean sky starting at 9:15 PM. High tide is at 7:19 PM, so the beach will gradually open up with more space as the night goes on.

Important reminder: the Main Beach parking lot closes at 4:00 PM to prepare for the event, so plan to arrive early in the day or, even better, book a hotel within walking distance to fully enjoy the experience without the stress. This is a unique and unforgettable way to celebrate the holiday by the sea.

Music in the ParkSundays from June 29–August 31 • 5:30–7:00 PMSunday evenings from June 29–August 31, enjoy live music at Dorothea Jacobs Grant Common from 5:30–7:00 PM. This hidden gem of a green space is located behind Obed’s Lot and makes for a peaceful, tree-lined setting for a summer concert.

Book Your Boating Adventures

Now that the warm weather is here, it's the perfect time to book your boating excursions before they fill up! One of our favorites is

Their outings are especially great for families, kids as young as 4 can learn how to fish in a fun and engaging way.

Classic Maine Lobster Dinner with a View

There’s nothing more classic than a lobster dinner on the coast of Maine, and at
Blue Bistro at the Beachmere Inn
, it comes with one of the best views in Ogunquit. Perched above the ocean at the
Beachmere Inn
, Blue Bistro overlooks the stunning Marginal Way and offers sweeping views of the Atlantic from its dining room and outdoor terrace.

Every Thursday from 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM, you can enjoy their Lobster Dinner Special, featuring a 1¼ pound soft shell lobster, corn on the cob, roasted red potatoes, and plenty of drawn butter. It’s a true taste of summer in an unforgettable setting.
