You don't say how long you will be in Maine. If you are here for a week or two, save yourself the drive to Bar Harbor. If you are here for the summer, put it on the list. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are both beautiful and worth the visit. If you have less time there are plenty of places within a short drive from Wells that are also nice. Explore the lakes region by taking a ride to Naples, ME. Visit Portland. If you are really set on driving up the coast go to Boothbay Harbor.
