It there were not tides there would be no flats. Cape Cod's forest would grow right to the water's edge, but there are tides--powerful ones, that silently cover the shore and then, hours later, pull the sea away to reveal ever-changing beaches that attract young and old. Up to a mile wide, the flats are breeding grounds for all kinds of sea life. People who stay at beachfront resorts count themselves lucky having this ever-changing view.
