There were the coolest patterns of sand at the end of Coast Guard Beach by Nauset Spit. It almost looks like a tray of swirled fudge. (Click on blog link to see larger photo
You can see the formations as you look out onto Nauset Marsh from the backside of Coast Guard Beach.
Pretty interesting, don’t you think?
We took a long walk on Coast Guard Beach yesterday morning. High tide was a little after noon, so we went out early so we could get back before the tides came in. You can’t walk on Coast Guard Beach at high tide as the water comes right up to the dunes where the trail is.
It was still pretty chilly here as we had our winter jackets on with a fleece vest underneath. The wind was blowing and it was cold.
We keep wondering what will happen this summer if there is no beach at high tide. Or, will Mother Nature straighten it all out by then?
The wind has been glorious for windsurfing and kite surfing on Cape Cod Bay. It was fun to watch these two set up their windsurfer on the sandbar, which was quickly disappearing, and then take it out for a nice ride! (Click on blog link to see other photos.)
In the 2nd photo you can see them starting to set up. In the last photo you can see how much the tide had come in while they were launching their windsurfer.
If you look closely at the first photograph, you can see the other windsurfer in the water to the right. Maybe this was a windsurfing lesson and he was the instructor?
I love walking to the end of Coast Guard Beach. It’s a beautiful walk where you might see some nesting birds. It was low tide when we walked there last and the ripples in the sand made for such an interesting photograph.
You have Coast Guard Beach on the left and Nauset Beach way in the distance on the right. You can see the little specks of people across Nauset Spit walking on Nauset Beach.
(I took this photograph last week before Coast Guard Beach was closed because of heavy erosion.)
