The Marginal Way, so-called for its marginal footpath along the edge of the cliffs, is a mile-long walkway along the shore in the town of Ogunquit. The path traces from Perkins Cove to Ogunquit Village, one of the few paved paths in New England that accommodates foot traffic directly along the oceanfront. The land comprising the walkway was donated to the town by legislator and conservationist Josiah Chase, Jr. in 1925. Chase was the first of many philanthropists to support the Marginal Way, which has since been expanded an additional ¼ mile with donations from Ogunquit landowners.

The path was adorned by many plants, including honeysuckle, bayberry, bittersweet, and sea roses.

The caption reads, "The Marginal Way, Ogunquit, Maine."

The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938.
