The weather for Easter is for a sunny day with warmer temps which is a wonderful welcome here on Cape Cod. I loved this photograph of Nauset Marsh where you can Coast Guard Station in the background. The colors of the water and the sky were magnificent!
Wishing you all a Happy Easter and may you find a few minutes to enjoy a little bit of nature….maybe and outside Easter Egg hunt?? 🙂
It was a treat to see this glacial rock again at Fort Hill that is usually hidden by the tall cattails and long grasses on the salt marsh. The assortment of winter storms in the past couple of weeks has washed away much of the sea grass from the salt marshes and leveled the cattails.
I remember years ago we used to walk out to this rock and have a picnic on top. I’m sure we’ll walk out there again, but not sure we’ll have the picnic on top. It is about 8′ high. The bench at the overview looks much more appealing! 🙂
I was so surprised when I walked up the little trail near the entrance shack to go to Nauset Beach. In the past few months when you got to the end of the trail where there was a little boardwalk, there was a huge drop-off of 6-8 feet where the water had eroded the beach. I expected the same the other day.
It was a pleasant surprise to see that a lot of the sand had come back on the beach and the drop off was only a couple of feet, easily accessible. You can see that the beach was gorgeous as you look north toward Nauset Beach and Coast Guard Beach. It was about 2 hours after low tide.
There is still a lot of time until summer. It will be very interesting to see what Mother Nature will do in the next few months…
The walk from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach is just spectacular! You hike through the woods along a handicapped accessible trail, along the salt marsh, across this gorgeous boardwalk over the salt marsh and then through the woods to Coast Guard Beach, one of the prettiest beaches on Cape Cod.
This was the first time that we walked over the bridge and there was water on both sides because of the high, high tide. Usually there is just a little creek running through the salt marsh from Nauset Marsh.
It doesn’t get much prettier! What do you think?
