Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Wells Beach might be written as Well Beach. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Wells Beach.
<2>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
