Snowtober in Ogunquit
Although it was only a few days ago, the remnants on Snow on October 30th have left an impression for many. It’s hard to recall a time when we’ve had snow on the ground before Thanksgiving much less before Mid December.
We’re too close to the ocean for anything to really stick at this time of [...]
Maine’s Salt Water Taffy
Ever since I was a child, I have gone to The Goldenrod in York Beach Maine to get salt water taffy. I first started with my grandfather almost 40 years ago. It was our annual summer ritual, one I remember with great fondness as it was a trip for just he and I.

I’ve heard it many times, why would I want to come to Ogunquit Maine in the winter? It’s cold, nothing’s open, what’s to do?
