Wells

Traffic along Route 1, as you drive north to Wells, can be especially tedious—even more so on a foggy or rainy day, when all the tourists are searching for entertainment and are visiting the concentration of outlet shops at the southern end of this route. I’d suggest, if at all possible, avoiding this drive at the beginning or the end of the beach day, when those who have spent the day on the sand and in the ocean find their way to restaurants, grocery stores, and back to their overnight accommodations.In the town of Wells there’s a real concentration of antique shops offering formal and country furniture and decorative objects. If antiquing is your thing, save some time for a visit.
