Marconi Beach, Ocean beach in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, United States.
White sand beach stretches beneath 40-foot sand cliffs along the Atlantic Ocean within Cape Cod National Seashore, offering 1.5 miles of shoreline.
In 1903, Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi established a wireless station near this beach for the first transatlantic radio communication between America and Europe.
The beach location marks a significant advancement in telecommunications history, commemorated through educational displays explaining early wireless technology development.
Visitors access the beach via stairs from the parking area, with seasonal facilities including restrooms, showers, and lifeguard services from June through September.
The beach area provides excellent conditions for surfing, with consistent waves and a flat shoreline during low tide that attracts skimboarders.
