Handkerchief Way Beach, Dennis Port, Massachusetts, is a quiet stretch of Cape Cod coastline along Nantucket Sound in the Chase Ocean Grove cottage community. 
 
This oil painting captures the long, early-morning shadows cast shortly after sunrise across the historic cottage community of Chase Ocean Grove. The beach sits along Nantucket Sound, whose relatively protected waters and distinctive tidal movement have shaped the shoreline and the communities that developed around it.
