Gorgeous Day For A Hike At Fort Hill On Cape Cod

It was a gorgeous, somewhat spring-like day here on Cape Cod so we decided to hike the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill on Cape Cod. The views are spectacular!

Phil took this photograph as we were finishing the Red maple Swamp Trail and heading out to the trail around the meadow. You can see Nauset Marsh and then Nauset Beach way out in the distance.

So pretty!

Nauset Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod Is Really Small After The Blizzard

I took a ride to Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore, in Orleans on Cape Cod yesterday was was so surprised to see how small the beach had become after the blizzard a couple of weeks ago. You can see the high water mark and it is pretty high. There’s only a few  feet of beach for people to sit on at high tide.

The dunes at Nauset Beach were pretty eroded too and the walk down to the beach by Liam’s Restaurant was surprisingly  steep. It almost seems like all of the sand that eroded from Nauset Beach ended up on Coast Guard Beach a few miles away.

I took these 2 photographs looking in opposite directions on the beach. The high water mark on the first photograph is pretty high!

The Waves Are Huge At Nauset Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod

With a huge storm looming, the waves at Nauset Beach on Cape Cod were huge! I could barely open the door of my car because of the ferocious winds which are supposed to hit 60-70 mph today. Wow!

You can see the sand blowing. It was hard to stand up on the beach!
