Figure 4-78. Large-scale inlet migration at the Monoraoy-Nauset Inlet, Cape 

 Cod, Massachusetts, 1846-1965. (In 1846 the inlet was located approximately 

 3.2 kilometers (2 miles) south of its present location. By 1868 the inlet had 

 closed up and a new inlet was opened by a storm 9.6 kilometers (6 miles) to 

 the north. By 1965 the inlet had migrated 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) to the 

 south. These changes have resulted in the beach updrift of the inlet being 

 offset in a seaward direction.)
