Perkins Cove Golden Hour Ogunquit Maine Coastal Fine Art Photo Print

On a warm July evening, I was on a family walk down to Perkins Cove to get some ice cream. I was pushing my son, an infant at the time, in his stroller when we walked onto the deck next to Barnacle Billy's. The light was perfection. It was the warm, amber glow of golden hour and it was settling over the rowboats in the cove. 

I luckily had my camera on me, and a very patient baby, and I was able to capture this perfect shot. Every time I look at this print, "Golden Boats", I can feel the warmth of the summer evening and the anticipation of some delicious ice cream.

About Perkins Cove

Perkins Cove is one of the most beloved spots on the Maine coast, and for good reason. Tucked into the southern end of Ogunquit, it's a working fishing village that somehow still feels like a secret. There's weathered boats, a footbridge, galleries, and some of the best seafood in New England all packed into one small, walkable cove.

Golden hour hits it differently than anywhere else. The way the warm light catches the hulls of the boats and reflects off the still water is the kind of thing photographers chase and rarely get perfectly. This was one of those rare evenings.

PERFECT FOR:

• Maine residents and Ogunquit locals
• Golden hour enthusiasts 
• Coastal New England home decor
• Maritime history buffs
• Gifts for anyone who loves Maine
• Beach house or coastal cottage decor
• Office or home office nautical themes

STYLING & DISPLAY IDEAS:

• Choosing Your Frame A simple black frame looks clean and modern. Natural wood feels warm and coastal. White keeps it light and airy. Whatever you pick, stick to one frame style across a gallery wall so it looks intentional. All prints include a 1/2" white border for framing flexibility.
• What Size Goes Where: 5x7: desk, shelf, nightstand, or part of a gallery wall. 8x10: standalone in a bathroom, bedroom, or hallway. 11x14: statement piece above a sofa, bed, or dresser. When in doubt, go one size up. Prints almost always look better slightly larger than you expect.
• Building a Gallery Wall Odd numbers work best (3, 5, or 7 prints). Mix sizes for visual interest with a larger print as the anchor. Keep frames consistent. Lay it out on the floor before hanging anything. Renters: Command strips hold framed prints up to 8x10 without damaging walls.
• Where These Prints Live Living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, bathrooms, hallways, beach houses, and rental properties. Coastal photography works in more spaces than you'd think — especially when the colors are warm rather than dark and moody.
• Gifting These make great housewarming gifts, holiday presents, and hostess gifts for anyone who loves New England. Ships unframed and ready to wrap.
