J.McLaughlin's Wells storefront on Post Road resides in a neighborhood of charming art and antique stores. Across the street from us, get your sweet fix at Big Daddy's, where you can choose from dozens of ice cream flavors for sundaes, floats, and more. If you're craving a full meal, take a brisk walk to the cozy Maine Diner — you won't regret a lobster pie and chowder. Then, track down your next favorite page-turner at Douglas Harding Rare Books: The store's collection includes over 100,000 rare and out-of-print books for all of your reading needs
You won't want to miss the historical landmarks and seaside destinations near us either. Off of Post Road and onto Sanford Road, you'll find Founder's Park. Along the Park's light trail, explore the first settlement home as well as monuments that list the founding families of our town. If you're looking to get in touch with nature, no need to venture far. Enjoy the many beaches in Wells, including the beautiful Drakes Island. J.McLaughlin is also right next to the lush Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, a lovely location for birdwatching waterfowl and other species.
