Encounters like this are part of what makes Cape Cod such a special place to explore. Around Monomoy Island, gray seals gather in large numbers, often lifting a flipper as if waving at passing boats. It’s a simple moment, but one that captures the spirit of summer on the Cape—sun, sand, wildlife, and a little unexpected charm.
