I went to Horseneck Beach in Westport, Massachusetts today.  The drive takes about an hour from my house, less time than it takes to listen to the first two acts of Manon Lescaut.  The beach is on the southern coast of Massachusetts and resembles some of the beaches on the southern shore of Long Island.  A difference is that there are no houses anywhere near the beach.  A hurricane in 1938 destroyed hundreds of beach houses in that area and killed 22 people.  Rebuilding of the houses was not allowed.  The day was sunny, but the water was a little bit cold.
