You can see Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod, which is one of the Top 10 Beaches in the USA, through the bushes by the Coast Guard Station. It is part of the National Seashore and truly one of the prettiest beaches you will ever see.
I took one of my friends for a walk there and she commented to me, “Now I remember! This was my very favorite beach on Cape Cod!”
If you haven’t visited Coast Guard Beach, put it on your Bucket List! It is pristine and goes on for miles!
The Wild Saltspray Rose is one of my favorite wildflowers. It reminds that it is summer and a ‘somewhat” carefree time of the year. We had a lot of Wild Roses on the beach where I grew up in Connecticut too.
After the Wild Rose blooms, the flower will turn into a huge reddish-orange berry known as a Rosehip. Many people will pick these berries and make jelly out of them.
Have you ever had Rosehip Jelly?
You can see why the boats can enter and exit Rock Harbor in Orleans on Cape Cod only before or after high tide. Otherwise, they could get stuck in Cape Cod Bay or in the harbor for many hours waiting for the tide to change.
You can see the “buoy trees” which mark the channel into the harbor sitting on top of the sand. It is dead low tide. No boats will be going in for quite a while.
And at low tide, you can walk out it seems for mile. Have you ever been to Cape Cod Bay at low tide?
