Lots Of Sand At Newcomb Hollow Beach Parking Lot On Cape Cod

There sure was a lot of sand at the end of Newcomb Hollow Beach parking lot after the storms. When the wind blows the sand onto the parking lots by the beaches, they need to plow the sand away to make room for the cars to park.

You can see how high the sand is at the picnic table. High but still manageable for a picnic at the beach!

High Tide At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod

The water still goes up pretty high on Coast Guard Beach, part of the National Seashore, at high tide.  You can see by this photograph that the water goes all the way up to the dunes when the tides are high as you walk down the beach. This photograph was taken about 2 and 1/2 hours after high tide.

There are places along the beach where the sand is higher and the water doesn’t get up to the dunes. The dilemma is… if you walk down the beach when the tide is lower, will you get back if the tide comes in?
