The Hidden Beach In Maine With Clear Waters That Rival The Caribbean
With all its crooks and crannies, Maine has a longer coastline than that of California. The 3,478 miles of beauty include both impressively rocky cliffs and beautiful sandy beaches. Everyone knows the more popular spots that exist all the way up southern Maine, but there are actually quite a few that offer some nice peace and quiet. In fact, if you know where to look the right beach will be serene even on a beautiful summer day. While they exist all the way up and down the coast. this one is certainly a favorite. And the water is beautiful!
Make your way to The Wells Reserve at Laudholm and the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve to experience this small slice of Maine heaven.
Our favorite route is the Knight Trail which leads to the Barrier Beach Trail. Or, you can choose to take the Barrier Beach Trail the whole way. Both are about a half mile.
The walk begins with this incredible view over of Mount Agamenticus towering behind vast grasslands.
You can find Laudholm Beach at Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, which was established in 1984. The trails here are open 7 a.m. to sunset year round. Pets, smoking and collecting are not allowed. You can learn more about them via their website, or check them out on Facebook. For more answers to your questions you can reach them on 207-646-1555. Address: 342 Laudholm Farm Road, Wells, ME 04090.
