Marconi Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Can be good but can be rocky and sucks bigtime
Atmosphere:
Plenty of tourists on a sunny day but stay off the protected beach cause the lifeguards are whistle happy.
Additional Info:
Its probably the most powerful break on cape cod, it can get crowded when it gets good but sand bars are shifty and it could be good or it could suck. The peakyest wave on cape cod
