Wells, Maine

Overview

In our nation’s eastern most Pine Tree State of Maine and its southern most county of York, is the town of Wells, named for the cathedral city of Wells, in Somerset, England. Wells is a seacoast town. From Drakes Island to Moody the majestic marine shoreline sweeps in a crescent, bordering the mighty Atlantic Ocean with sandy beaches and rocky promontories. Behind the dunes, a tidal river flows through the green and gold marshes and is met by many smaller streams, which originate inland among the forests and distant hills.
