Massachusetts anglers haul 1,260-pound Atlantic blue marlin, near world record

Two Massachusetts fishermen aboard the Castafari battled a 1,260-pound Atlantic blue marlin off Cape Cod for about three hours, initially mistaking it for a shark. The fish weighed 1,260 pounds on an IGFA-certified scale in Falmouth, likely a Massachusetts state record and among the largest Atlantic blue marlins caught off the East Coast, approaching the world record of 1,402 pounds. Scientists estimate the fish at 25–30 years old, and the meat will be shared among about a dozen people.

Cape Cod Goes Aerial to Vaccinate Wildlife Against Rabies

The USDA’s APHIS is dropping oral rabies vaccine baits from helicopters across New England to curb raccoon rabies, with Cape Cod distribution planned mid-September to mid-October. The bait is packaged in two-inch plastic sachets with a fishmeal attractant and is safe for most animals; humans should wash the contact area with soap and water if they touch the bait. In addition to Cape Cod, similar efforts are underway in Barre, Vermont and Houlton, Maine using aircraft and vehicles to distribute hundreds of thousands of baits.

New Sagamore Bridge Renderings Show Wider Cape Cod Crossing with Bike Path

MassDOT released renderings of the planned Sagamore Bridge replacement on Cape Cod, showing a wider, longer span with 12-foot vehicle lanes, a shared-use path for cyclists and pedestrians, improved lighting, and foundations designed for marine traffic; construction could start by the end of 2027, with about five years to shift traffic onto the new bridge and a projected completion around 2036, at a cost just over $2 billion.

Giant Great White Contender Heads Toward Cape Cod, Tracked in Real Time

Giant Great White Contender Heads Toward Cape Cod, Tracked in Real Time

Contender, the western Atlantic’s largest tagged male great white at about 1,650–1,700 pounds, is migrating north from the Outer Banks toward Cape Cod and eastern Canada. Researchers track him with a satellite tag that only reports when his fin surfaces, giving partial location data with an expected five-year lifespan. The migration aligns with cooler northern waters as oceans warm, where seals and large schooling fish attract great whites closer to shore. There’s no record of Contender harming people; beachgoers should follow safety advisories. Real-time movements are available on OCEARCH’s Global Shark Tracker, alongside data from more than 100 other tagged whites to aid conservation.

Great White Contender on 7,000-Mile North Atlantic Trek Toward Cape Cod

The Atlantic’s largest tagged male great white shark, Contender, appears to be migrating toward Cape Cod after a roughly 7,000-mile journey in the North Atlantic; a July 10 Z-ping showed movement from the Outer Banks, with Cape Cod offering warm water and plentiful prey as a migration hotspot in summer and fall. Beachgoers should stay alert, swim near lifeguards, avoid dusk and dawn, and follow posted advisories as the shark continues its seasonal movement.

Back Home for Good: Proximity to Family Led to a Fulfilling Cape Cod Return

A retiree moved from Cape Cod to Somers, Connecticut in 2021 to be closer to her children and grandchildren, but struggled with a sparse social scene and found the cost-of-living relief insufficient. After four years, she and her husband sold their Somers home (bought for $362,000) and relocated back to Cape Cod in 2025, buying a smaller $727,000 1,500-square-foot home. The move restored daily activities (golf three times a week, gym visits) and a richer sense of community, with their kids visiting more easily. She emphasizes that quality of life and happiness, not just proximity, matter most in retirement.)

Love in Hyannis Port: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s Quiet Cape Cod Life

Rolling Stone paints JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy as a couple who kept a largely private Cape Cod life—secret Hyannis Port visits, a home base that became a refuge from New York’s glare, ongoing renovations and dinner-party weekends, and Martha’s Vineyard getaways—contrasting with Love Story’s on-screen depictions, and noting their 1999 plane crash that cut their Cape-era dreams short.
