This was another gorgeous day to photograph Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore, looking south toward Chatham. The lifeguard chairs are out and the beach looks pretty big for summer vacationers to enjoy. You can still see the roped off area for the Piping Plovers and Least Terns to nest.
There is a tall post at Nauset Beach which tell you the distance to many far-away lands. It’s really fun to see the distance to London or Kauai or the Grand Canyon or Machu Picchu.
This photo also shows the new picnic area where Liam’s Clam Shack once stood.
Have you ever seen this cool sign at Nauset Beach? Have you ever been to one of the far-away lands?
We took a walk on Nauset Beach the other evening. It was just spectacular! You could see the clouds coming in for the storm, but the there were still some people enjoying their picnics before the sun was went down.
You can see the lifeguard stands high on the beach where a lot of sand has come back for the summer. The beaches look pretty big, even at high tide.
I love stormy days on the beach and this was a good one at First Encounter Beach, where the Pilgrims first landed on Cape Cod. The rains had stopped but the wind was blowing and there were a few people enjoying the stormy day.
The first photograph is looking out toward Wellfleet and Provincetown. The second photograph is looking back toward Rock Harbor.
Pretty, don’t you think?
