Taken at Marconi Beach in Cape Cod National Seashore in Wallfleet, Massachusetts on 25 August 2014.
Named after the Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi, this is where he "successfully completed the first transatlantic wireless communication between the U.S. and England in 1903."
Great white sharks live in these waters and so do seals. According to a local lady Pete chatted with, one would occasionally witness a great white prey on and devour a seal. Ergo, enticing as it may seem to swim with the cute blubbery mammals (they are pretty close to the shore!), I think it's wise to heed the National Parks Service's warning to stay away from them.
Aside from its pristine powdery sand, I love this place because dogs are allowed outside the lifeguard-protected areas. We could've stayed here all day had we been armed with a proper shading equipment, not so much for us but for the Baby Booboos who was panting endlessly.
Humans enjoyed riding the big waves:
Ditto the pinnipeds:

| This is Kenny, a friendly local surfer who had to sit it out after being hit by his board on the side of his head. The board was damaged but thankfully he didn't have any cuts. He was feeling weird though so he decided to rest. He and his buddies were planning to go the Philippines to surf (mentioned after learning that I'm Pinay) :) |
