Overlooking Nauset Marsh is always gorgeous, no matter what time of the year or what the weather is. I love this view from the picnic area by Coast Guard Station, even on a dark, cloudy day. It’s always been one of our favorite places!

Nauset Marsh Overlook: Champlain’s Vision
“Charted by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1605, Nauset Marsh was then a navigable bay. The explorer also noted a number of beehive-shaped homes and fields on the hillsides, placed there by the native Nausets. As time passed, the ocean continued to develop a narrow stretch of sand along the outer shore.
“We now know this as Nauset Spit. The spit acted as a protective arm, or barrier beach, and this allowed the extensive salt marsh to develop.”
