Well's Bay (also Wells Bay, The Well's Bay; previously The Well Bay)[2][3][4] is a coastal bay on the island of Saba in the Dutch Caribbean. It is located on the northwestern coast of the island. The bay is one of a few places for swimming on Saba.[2][5] Sometimes Well's Bay has a small beach, known locally as the “wandering beach”[6] due to the black sand that appears and disappears seasonally and sporadically.[2][7]
