The dune shacks in the Cape Cod National Seashore were originally built by the Coast Guard so that men looking for ships during storms would have a place to rest. They later became summer homes for artists and writers.

The dune shacks in the Cape Cod National Seashore were originally built by the Coast Guard so that men looking for ships during storms would have a place to rest. They later became summer homes for artists and writers.
