Wandering up the coast…
Beck and I spent this lovely 3rd of July driving up the coast from our home in Salem, MA to Wells, ME (by the always pleasant, but very indirect route 1.) We found the nicest, least exploited, part of Maine’s first 30 minutes of driving. Wells is a little more than 20 minutes from the New Hampshire border via route 95, and the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve is fantastic. It beats the heavily peopled beaches in York and Ogunquit and replaces it with a quite walk in nature, with an amazing stretch of quiet beach as well.
