as one of the finest
family vacation spots
anywhere.
Wells Main Beach offers over 1.5 miles of continuous sand, dunes, tidal pools, and
jetties surrounding the opening to Wells Harbor. Wells Harbor offers launching areas
for boats on trailers, kayaks, and canoes. Wells Harbor Community Park is home to
a gazebo for summertime performances and multiple other amenities, including a
playground and universally accessible observation deck.
Those who stay here are familiar with the myriad of dining options as well as one of
the widest arrays of lodging in all of The Maine Beaches—from beach-front cottages
and condominiums to inns, guest houses, and B&Bs and an excellent collection of
hotels and motels. A dozen or more campgrounds offer services ranging from simple
tenting sites to full-service recreational vehicle sites.
While other beach communities offer more mainstream retail and shopping, Wells
delivers the vintage advantage—a broad collection of antique malls and independent
dealers that have helped make Wells the Antiques Capital of Maine.
