If my memory is working at all, I remember that 3R's referred to a local school and stood for Reading, Righting and Rithmetic...or something like that....lol

Key Box Road referred to a station stop used for the beach patrol. The beach patrol had to put their key in a gadget to prove they had walked that far and did their job..or something like that...lol

Coin Beach Road led to Coin Beach where in the later 19Th century, buckets of old British and Irish copper coins were found washed ashore from the wreck of the Faithful Steward. Or so I've read.

Most of the road names stood for something, way back when, believe it or not...
