New England is Home to One of the Best Beaches in America

New England is known for its natural beauty, but when it comes to beaches, we're really spoiled.

There's no shortage of places to sun, surf, swim, and relax in our region. But what beaches are the best both regionally and nationally? A Beachfix study gave a shoutout to several spots on the East Coast. But now, NECN has jumped on the bandwagon by recognizing one Maine beach as being among the top 10 beaches in the US. The verdict was determined by Tripadvisor, who analyzed traveler reviews as part of their Travelers' Choice Awards.

So what Maine beach received this awesome recognition?

That honor goes to Ogunquit Beach, which is not only a beautiful place, but home to Marginal Way, a 1.25-mile scenic cliff walk that both locals and tourists adore.

Here's what Tripadvisor had to say about Ogunquit Beach:

"This beach is impeccably clean, and has a smooth, sandy floor. At low tide the beach is probably the widest beach ever. At high tide you can walk out hundreds of feet and still be only waist high."

How awesome is that? This writer's only been to Ogunquit Beach a handful of times, but always has positive experiences. Everyone loves this area and all it has to offer, so it makes sense that Ogunquit Beach would make it on this prestigious list.

Speaking of beaches, take a look inside this beautiful, expansive Cape Cod beach house that even has its own lighthouse. Could you imagine living here?
