Carol DeCapua’s ‘Dawn Flight at Short Beach’

Amazing photographer Carol DeCapua captures what’s happening every dawn on Lordship’s shore, treating her Facebook fans with daily photographic journeys. And the LIA is thrilled to feature her dramatic dawn flight of seagulls at Short Beach as the January photo in the LIA’s new 2026 ‘Lordship by the Sea’ calendar. It’s a great start to the calendar’s 12-month journey through Lordship’s spectacular shore.
