Wells is a small place that also happens to be Maine’s third-oldest town. It is famous for its gorgeous white-sand beaches, including Ogunquit Beach. The beach is ideal for various seaside activities, including having picnics, enjoying sunset views, swimming, and sunbathing. Moody Beach is another popular tourist attraction. The 1 mile-long (1.6-kilometer-long) beach stretches between Ogunquit Beach and Moody Point. Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge is a great hiking spot, which is perfect for bird-watching and enjoying the fresh air. Wells Reserve at Laudholm is a well-known nature spot too, and it offers a conservation center and a nature preserve. Travelers can visit Dock Square, which is dotted with restaurants, cafes, and shops. The antique shops on Route 1 are also a must-visit. Of course, no vacation in Maine is complete without being close to the beach. Check out these top beachfront rentals in Wells, Maine.
