Beach
A beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles. The particles composing a beach are typically made from rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, etc., or biological sources, such as mollusc shells or coralline algae. Sediments settle in different densities and structures, depending on the local wave action and weather, creating different textures, colors and gradients or layers of material. Though some beaches form on inland freshwater locations such as lakes and rivers, most beaches are in coastal areas where wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments. Erosion and changing of beach geologies happens through natural processes, like wave action and extreme weather events. Where wind conditions are correct, beaches can be backed by coastal dunes which offer protection and regeneration for the beach. However, these natural forces have become more extreme due to climate change, permanently altering beaches at very rapid ...

Mashpee, Massachusetts
Mashpee ( wam, Mâseepee) is a town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States, on Cape Cod. The population was 15,060 as of 2020. The town is the site of the headquarters and most members of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, one of two federally recognized Wampanoag groups. For geographic and demographic information on specific parts of the town of Mashpee, please see the articles on Mashpee Neck, Monomoscoy Island, New Seabury, Popponesset, Popponesset Island, Seabrook, and Seconsett Island. History Cape Cod was occupied for more than ten thousand years by indigenous peoples. The historic Algonquian-speaking Wampanoag were the native people encountered by the English colonists here and in the area of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the seventeenth century. The Wampanoag also controlled considerable coastal area. These two cultures would interact, shaping each other for decades. After English colonists arrived, they began to settle the area of present-day Mashpe ...

Mashpee And Wakeby Ponds
Mashpee Pond and Wakeby Pond are adjoining ponds in Mashpee and Sandwich, Massachusetts. When considered together, these two ponds cover and constitute the largest freshwater pond on Cape Cod. This pair is deep at its deepest point. The Fishing Record for most bass caught in a day belongs to James Dean on August 21,2016. The record for most fishing trips without a single fish caught belongs to P.J Keliher at 26. These kettleholes are fed by groundwater and have no inlet streams. The ponds' sole outlet stream, the Mashpee River, flows south to Popponesset Bay. Boating access to the ponds is possible via a state-maintained concrete launching ramp off Route 130 in Mashpee. The ponds are heavily used for boating, swimming, bass fishing and trout fishing. However, there is no public beach on the lakes on which boats may be put ashore. Ice fishing and fly fishing take place on these waters in addition to bait-casting. In 2006, a few fish pulled from Mashpee and Wakeb ...
