The Cape is doomed. In 4-5 thousand years only P-town will be left. Only a shoal. In another 2500 even that will be gone. This is from my Conservation Commision days 30+ years ago. I think that book was " A Geologist's View of Cape Cod" or something like that. The continual changes in the shoreline were commented and complaine on by even the earliest colonists. There is nothing new here, the changes seem bigger because there is less left. Enjoy it while you can.

P.S. 10 feet is the average difference between high and low tide on the Cape. I'm not sure if I can buy that..
