Day Trip to Kennebunkport
Some call it Bush Country, but the hats are fabulous. Dock Square is as cute a town square as one will find in New England. There is an excellent selection of restaurants, and it's only 20 minutes away.
History of Maine
Lots of history and fun facts about Maine, including the fact that more wooden toothpicks are produced in Maine than any other state! From Maine senator Olympia Snowe's web site.

Located on Laudholm Farm Rd. (marked off of Route 1) in Wells. This 1600 acre nature area includes meadows, woods and 2 barrier beaches located at the mouth of the Little River. Seven miles of trails lead through fields and woods to the beaches.
Marginal Way
A 1.25 mile walk along the cliffs with dramatic views of the ocean. The path starts in the village on Shore Road after the Sparhawk Hotel and meanders the coastline to Perkins Cove.
