Cape Cod National Seashore

By: Gordon Hempton

Unlike canned nature sounds created in a studio, renowned acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton travels the world recording remarkable locations that capture the essence of the place itself. His lifelong mission is to preserve nature through sound, and his soundscapes are produced with such care and quality that you feel as if he has truly brought a slice of the world into your home.

Few things are as soothing as the lull of the ocean, and in this piece, Gordon celebrates the sounds of the Atlantic as only he can. Relax, close your eyes, and experience the waves crashing onto the wet sand like the earth's own breathing.

This title is part of a collection of audio experiences created to deliver your best sleep during this difficult time.

Pulls Me Back to Days of Hope

I went to D-Y Regional High School on Cape Cod, and biked to the beach whenever I needed a break from teenage turmoil. Fortunately, the waves never cease, and neither will the peace they bring.

Perfect ocean sounds!

So relaxing and no other sounds besides smooth waves crashing. It's perfect to fall asleep to.

timeless escape

originally downloaded for sleep, which it did help amazingly well
but then i used it for a tension release breathing session and it was wonderful, like i was there. loved it

Soothing

Very soothing. Helps lull me back to sleep on those times I wake up in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling asleep.

Words Cannot Express ...!

Powerful, majestic, awe-inspiring, intoxicating! Makes me think of the mighty Lord God who created the sea! I listened with my headphones, and it's almost too wonderful and magical for sleep. The wild restless waves of the sea seem to arouse an answering restlessness within which, while altogether pleasant, initially seems to contradict sleep. Yet the waves are also very soothing, and sleep will surely come when you least expect it and before you know it so that you will likely never hear the end of the recording. Highly recommended-with or without earphones-for all nature-lovers and anyone who is anxious or simply having trouble falling to sleep by one who has had an enduring love-affair with the ocean from infancy, who probably has more salt water flowing through the veins than blood, and who has had a life-long struggle with getting and staying to sleep.
