Things to do in Wells

Beyond the hotel room

Wells offers a perfect blend of coastal beaches, wildlife trails, and town character for every traveler.

Wells Beach, Drakes Island Beach, and Crescent Beach showcase miles of sandy Southern Maine shoreline perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and beach walks. In summer, the seasonal trolley links these beaches directly to Route 1 and Ogunquit, making car-free days entirely feasible.

The Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge features salt-marsh boardwalk trails and exceptional birding opportunities year-round. Nearby, Wells Reserve at Laudholm is a coastal research reserve with scenic trails that lead directly to the beach, ideal for families seeking nature walks and educational programs.

Wells Harbor hosts a summer concert series and seasonal Harborfest events, anchoring the working waterfront. The town also hosts the Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival in September and Fourth of July fireworks on the beach.

Beyond the water, explore the Wells Auto Museum and the Route 1 antiques district for quirky finds. Close by are easy hops to Ogunquit's cliffside Marginal Way and Kennebunkport's Dock Square—both a short drive away.

There is more within easy reach: The Wells Auto Museum and Route 1 antiques district. Seasonal highlights include Wells Harbor summer concert series and Harborfest, Wells Reserve at Laudholm events and Punkinfiddle (fall), Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival (September). Wells rewards visits in every season, from green-season hiking and water days to brilliant autumn foliage and quiet, snow-dusted winters. And because Wells sits within easy reach of Ogunquit, Kennebunkport, Old Orchard Beach, it works well as a base for wider day trips across the region.

"The rooms are like 1 bedroom condos. The recliner is nice to have and they stock the cabinets with every plate and pot and pan you need. The keurig comes with 4 coffees. The room was clean upon arrival. I like that every room either has a patio and balcony. I'd stay here again the next time I'm in Wells Maine."

Tub types, explained

What's the difference between a jacuzzi, whirlpool, and soaking tub?

Jacuzzi

Technically a brand name, but used generically for any jetted tub. In hotel listings, "jacuzzi suite" almost always means a private in-room tub with built-in air or water jets. Heat is usually preset; jets are user-controlled.

Whirlpool

Functionally identical to a jacuzzi — water jets circulate heated water for a massage effect. The term is more common at Marriott, Hilton, and Wyndham brands. Most "whirlpool suites" hold two adults comfortably.

Soaking tub

Deeper than a standard bathtub, usually 18–22 inches, but with no jets. Common in boutique and luxury hotels — quieter, more spa-like, and better for a long hot soak than the jet-driven hum of a jacuzzi.

Hot tub

In strict use, a standalone heated tub holding 100°F+ water. In hotel marketing, often used interchangeably with jacuzzi or whirlpool. A genuine in-room "hot tub" with full thermostat control is rare outside cabin-style resorts.

Every listing on this page specifies which type you'll find in the room. We list only properties with the tub in your room — not in a shared pool area or the lobby spa.

Why trust us

Hand-verified. No AI filler.

Every hotel on this page has been personally verified to have a private, in-room hot tub or jacuzzi — not a shared pool tub, not a bathroom soaker, not a spa amenity you have to book. We cross-check three sources for every listing: the hotel's own room photos and descriptions, recent guest reviews on TripAdvisor and Google, and direct confirmation from the hotel where unclear. We don't take payment for placement, and we don't generate listings with AI. If a hotel's tub status changes or a property closes, the page updates the next time we re-verify the city (Dothan was last checked May 2026).
