Kite Surfing On Cape Cod Bay… Brrr!

It has been freezing here on Cape Cod for the past couple of weeks with high winds. But that doesn’t deter the die-hard kite surfers who love the wind and don’t mind the cold.

I thought this was pretty cool the other day. It was 27 degrees with at least 25 mph winds and he looked like he was having a blast! Look at those white caps on Cape Cod Bay!

The Latest On Liam’s At Nauset Beach On Cape Cod

We took a drive to Nauset Beach yesterday to see what was going and 2/3s of the parking lot was blocked off. You could see a large excavator loading what looked like black top from next to Liam’s into a dump truck. Liam’s was still there.  We’ll take a ride down there again today to see what progress has been made. You can also see the old septic tanks which they must have brought up from the beach.

In the 2nd photograph you can see they take brought in LOTS of sand where the gazebo stood last week.  You can also see how close it is to the parking lot. Wow!

It will be very interesting to see what the town does with the beach and surrounding area and also how much the beach changes before summer…

For those who do not know the history of Liam’s at Nauset Beach: Liam’s at Nauset Beach has been a popular summer restaurant for 63 years, originally known as Philbrick’s Snack Shack. Jon Ohman took it over in 1990 and renamed it Liam’s. It is now teetering over the edge of the ocean at high tide on Nauset Beach due to the many Nor’ easters that we’ve had this winter.

Feeding Frenzy At Nauset Beach On Cape Cod

The birds were loving the huge feeding frenzy at Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore. There were birds everywhere, diving into the water, so there must have been fish everywhere in the water. It was really beautiful to watch.

 

I couldn’t decide which photograph I liked better, What do you think?

Race Point In Provincetown On Cape Cod Was Spectacular

We stopped the car at a little parking lot near Herring Cove in Provincetown just to see what was out there, and this was the view we were treated to… just spectacular! I love seeing Race Point in the distance with the fence in the foreground. And those clouds! Wow!

Gorgeous, don’t you think?

Coast Guard Beach, Part Of The National Seashore, On Cape Cod

It was low tide the other day when we went to Coast Guard Beach in Eastham. The fence and sign “No Beach Access” were not up so we could take a walk on the beach. It’s obvious that at high tide the beach is pretty much nonexistent. Maybe that will change by summer. There are also a lot of new sandbars where there we no sandbars before.

The dunes gotten eaten away as you can see in the photograph. That is Phil in the distance where the trail meets the beach. You can see the new sandbar on the right.

Pretty huge dunes, don’t you think?
