History of Wells: The Beaches 

The barrier beaches of Wells were being discovered by wealthy inland businessmen by the late 1840s. Although tourism didn't flourish until the 20th century, this was the beginning of the awareness of our cool summer climate and many natural resources. Originally, the beaches of Wells were the natural resource that provided a landing place for the earliest travelers.
