A broad, curving beach of pale sand meets calm water, with a rocky, tree-covered headland rising beyond. Several large shingled summer houses and a hotel-like building stand on the bluff above the shore, the kind of seasonal architecture that grew up along Massachusetts's North Shore as Marblehead became a summer destination. The scene is Long Beach in Marblehead, a town long tied to yachting and resort life.
