The lucky people that have vacation homes or rentals and the crowds of visitors that come to this southern Maine travel destination every summer know that it doesn&#8217;t get much better than this when it comes to Maine beach life. Although the water is chilly (always that way in Maine), Wells Beach, along with Long Sands Beach in York Beach, Maine, Ogunquit Beach in Ogunquit, Maine, and Old Orchard Beach, Maine, lead the pack in terms of great long stretches of sandy beach space in Maine. And have no fear is you first see just rocks : in the distance (as in this photo), you&#8217;ll come across the &#8220;great stretch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wells Beach is also nice during the fall and spring when the crowds aren&#8217;t as prominent &#8212; you&#8217;ll experience a real feeling of peacefulness and tranquility here. Love \u00a0this place no matter what time of year! <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hotelscombined.com\/City\/Wells_Maine.htm?a_aid=18099&amp;brandId=20512\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wells Maine Hotels Deals \u2013 Book a Room<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wells Beach in Wells, Maine, remains one of \u00a0New England&#8217;s most popular beach destinations.
