We are spending three nights in Ogunquit with our four year old daughter and would like some suggestions for things to do and and good local choices for dinner. Thanks

She%26#39;ll love the beach! As far as dinner goes, Mainiax on Route One gets a lot of wonderful reviews as a good place for kids.

Three nights in Ogunquit with our four year old

I%26#39;ve been going to Ogunquit since I was 2 and I now go with my children, aged 4 %26amp; 6 -- I have never done any of the kid%26#39;s ';attraction'; activities because kids are just so completely happy at the beach, literally from dawn to dusk. We are at the beach as long as its not raining -- even if its cool, we just put on sweatpants %26amp; sweatshirts! As far as restaurants go, there%26#39;s a great little pizza place right in town. The Lobster Shack in Perkins Cove is wonderful -- it really is a tiny, one room shack with what is probably the freshest lobster you%26#39;ll find, etc. Barnacle Billy%26#39;s is a classic. Most of the restaurants have options for kids. Vinnie%26#39;s is very kid friendly, but the food isn%26#39;t great. The Ogunquit Lobster Pound is excellent %26amp; fun -- huge tank of live lobsters out front %26amp; the kids love it. Amore is a great breakfast/brunch place. You%26#39;ll have a great time whatever you do!

I too have been going since I was a young child. Now I am 27 and bring my own kids annually.

The ';trolley'; is a hassle free fun way to get from place to place and my son - he loves trains so he looks forward to that. ';Yummies';- that is an awesome candy store on your way that we never forget to stop.

We are crazy over haddock and clam chowder - Jakes is very good if you like informal %26amp; small and they have ice cream too and not too crowded. I love ';Mikes Clam Shack'; - I think everyone does as the wait is extreme and it is packed.

There is a nice scenic blacktop walking trail on the edge of the rocks - ';Marginal Way in Perkins Cove';. I used to walk it then and still do now, there is some easy (yet rocky) slopes to climb down by the shore and I always find crabs and snails and collect neat washed stones - so fun for kids to explore that stuff but the sandy beaches usually lack the cool creatures - sea urchins are really neat!

';Whale watching'; is a childhood memory of mine from there, and a ';deep sea fishing charter'; is one my husband did with his parents when he was little. I haven%26#39;t done anything on the sea w/ mine yet.

Depending on where we stay we do our own lobster in the pot sometimes..

Ogunquit has such whimsy little stores - your sure to find cute things for your daughter as souveniers.
