Maine has a humid continental climate, which typically brings great seasonal variations in temperature. Ogunquit’s coastal location, however, moderates these shifts, meaning winters are warmer and summers are cooler than in inland destinations.

Many of the town’s top attractions are suitable for a rainy day, and you probably won't have to wait in line. If your heart is set on a vacation rental in Ogunquit during the summer months, book early for your best chance of a bargain.
