About Footbridge Beach
Footbridge Beach is a small, sheltered cove known for its calm, shallow waters that warm quickly in summer, making it ideal for families and swimmers seeking gentler conditions than the more exposed beaches nearby. The beach's defining feature is the picturesque wooden footbridge that connects it to the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, creating a scenic gateway that draws artists and photographers. The narrow sandy strip fills quickly on warm days, attracting a mix of locals and visitors who appreciate its intimate scale and proximity to Ogunquit's village shops and restaurants.

Off season this was the perfect place to take our dog! We met some lovely, very respectful people along the bridge as well. The views were fantastic (stunning really) and it was nice and quiet for a relaxing afternoon walk.
One of the better beaches besides old orchard the sand was really soft really just lacking a foot wash station otherwise perfect beach
Footbridge Beach is hands down one of the top beach destinations in Maine. With its long, wide stretch of soft sand and pristine cleanliness, it’s the perfect spot to relax, sunbathe, or take a scenic stroll. The beach is accessible by a short, picturesque walk across the self-titled footbridge, which opens up to a truly stunning coastal landscape. There’s ample paid parking nearby and while restroom facilities are on the smaller side, they get the job done. No dogs allowed. The only real downside? Navigating Route 1 traffic during peak “summah” can be a pain. But honestly, that’s a small price to pay for this beautiful, peaceful slice of Maine coast. Plan ahead, get there early, and enjoy one of the cleanest, most beautiful beaches in the state.
Great beach very clean beautiful sunset photo ops when I visited. Pay to park until 9pm
This is a awesome beach! Just a short walk over the bridge, not real crowded. Im going back!
