The small body of water that connects Nauset Marsh and the Atlantic Ocean and divides the beach with Nauset Beach on the south side and Coast Guard Beach on the north side is called Nauset Spit. It is not very wide, but wide enough for smaller boats to get through.
You can get to it by walking from Nauset Beach (a long walk) or Coast Guard Beach (a not as long walk). I took this photograph from the Coast Guard Beach side. Beautiful, don’t you think?
This little Down Woodpecker sticks his head out of the bird house each morning when we get up. He is just the cutest thing. He stays there for quite a while and looks around. Eventually he will fly to the suet feeder for breakfast and then he is off for the day!
Such a fun thing to wake up to each morning! Isn’t he adorable?
(I took this photograph through the window and the screen as he was getting spooked when I went outside.)
Fort Hill, part of the National Seashore, is a wonderful place to go… any time of the year. You can hike or walk or sit on the bench and enjoy those spectacular views of Nauset Marsh.
You can take a walk on the boardwalk across Red Maple Swamp down to Hemenway Landing and see the boats going in or out.
Fort Hill is always a special place… any time of the year.
