We checked out many beaches on Cape Cod, including this very pretty one near Wellfleet. One of the most interesting historically was Marconi Beach, so named because it was where the inventor Guglielmo Marconi built a radio station that in 1903 transmitted the first wireless trans-Atlantic communication between the United States and Great Britain. That communication was between President Theodore Roosevelt and King Edward VII.
Not to be confused with Marconi Meadows in City Park, New Orleans.
