What are jetties?



While staying at the Mariner Resort you may like to take a walk, view wildlife or fish off the Drakes Island or Wells Jetties. Just 2 ½ miles from the Mariner Resort.

Built between 1961 and 1962 the Jetties extend 1,200 to 1,300 feet seaward. The Jetties protect the Wells harbor from storm surges, harbor boats, and is the main stem of the Webhannet watershed. Here you can experience Maine’s coastal wildlife. Harbor seals, Cormorants, ducks, crabs and starfish are among some of wildlife you will see.

Fishing is also common sight at the end of the jetties so, come fish for Stripers, relax, view wildlife or for you early risers watch the sun rise over the Atlantic.
