Pretty soon the bandstand at Nauset Beach in Orleans on Cape Cod will be busy again with their summer concerts..
The Nauset Beach Summer Concert Series are free concerts and are held every Monday evening in July and August. They are a lot of fun, so put it on your calendar for the summer!
We’re waiting for the spring-like weather to come to Cape Cod.
I took this photograph at Marconi Beach in Wellfleet last Sunday when the temperatures were about 30 degrees with 60 mile an hour winds. It felt more like Colorado weather than Cape Cod weather.
But a pretty photograph with the snowy beach and the storm clouds, don’t you think?
It was a beautiful morning here on Cape Cod so we decided to go out for a picnic breakfast. The temps were a bit chilly so we opted to stay in the car.
I loved this photograph of the sky over Cape Cod Bay from the dashboard of our car. It looks almost retro, don’t you think?
The hike to Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod is spectacular and diverse. You walk through the woods on a wonderful little trail listening to all of the birds along the way and then along Nauset Marsh where you can see Great Blue Herons and Great White Egrets as well as many other birds.
The hike takes you over a bridge in the marsh with breath-taking views of Nauset Marsh and then back through a little trail in the woods up to Coast Guard Station.
From there you can walk along Coast Guard Beach which goes for miles, sit at a picnic table and enjoy a scenic picnic, relax on a bench and wallow in the beauty or turn around and head back. It is definitely one of my favorite hikes on Cape Cod! Not too long and just perfect!
The waist-high ropes are up and the yellow signs are up along The National Seashore on Cape Cod so that people are aware of the birds nesting on the beach and in the beach grass.
The Piping Plover, Common Tern and Least Tern are shorebirds that nest along coastal sand and gravel beaches in North America. They are difficult to see as they blend in with the sandy beach habitat. Their nests are made on the sand and are also difficult to see.
I’m sure you will see some of these roped off areas this spring if you area walking the National Seashore on Cape Cod. If you stop and look beyond the ropes you might see some of the shorebirds nesting on the beach.
