The view doesn’t get much better on the Goose Pond Trail which takes you to the outer beach at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s a gorgeous trail through the woods and over the salt marsh out to the beach. This is just one of the many benches along the trails where you can sit down, relax and take it all in.
This bench overlooks the salt marsh out by the beach which is mostly filled in with water at high tide. Beware that the salt marsh fills in very quickly, so best to hike to the outer beach only when the tide is going out or at low tide.
The tides has been really high this winter. You can’t see any land in this photo of the salt marsh. Usually it is all land with a creek meandering through it. Wow!
We had never been to Pamet Harbor, so we took a ride up there the other day. It was so pretty with their vast beaches and secluded salt marshes and this beautiful dock that extended way out into the harbor.
It must look so different in season when it is crowded with boats and people. You can see all of the moorings waiting for their boats…
Oh my! I saw the pinkish sky out my windows and knew it would be a gorgeous sunrise over the salt marsh. I wasn’t disappointed. It was spectacular! What a way to start the last day of 2022!
Yesterday was very windy and and the kite surfers were brightening up the sky with their multi-colored kites by the salt marsh at First Encounter Beach. They were a sight to see!
It was fun just to watch their different moves as they sailed by each other. Did you get to see them yesterday?
