The Beaches of Wells
There are 7 miles of oceanfront in the town of Wells. Much of it is sandy beach only, which delights the sunbathers. Also along the coast are rocky ridges and tidal pools which are so interesting to young people, whether they are little and play in the warm puddles around the large rocks, or are older youngsters who enjoy hunting marine life among the ledges. Very fine white sand comprises Wells' beaches which are wide and flat, providing areas for walking, running, or sand castle building. Life guards are on duty for your protection.
