Marconi Beach

One of our most favorite beaches along the Cape Code National Seashore is Marconi. It was hit really hard by the two storms of recent weeks and the long stairs leading to the beach were gone causing the beach to be closed till further notice. As you can see, the erosion was quite severe.


The waves are one of the many notable natural features of the beach, that and the fact that Marconi has his wire antenna array at the top of the cliff.


Where there were once dunes all is now flat, and you can see the extreme damage done. This is where the long stairs leading down to the beach used to be.


The end of the trail! This is the last section or walkway left before the 40 foot drop from the top of the dunes to the beach.
