I was hiking on the trail at Fort Hill by the water’s edge yesterday morning when I noticed that it was really low tide. I had never seen it that low there. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Usually at low tide I can see the first 3 taller rocks jutting out from the shore but there were so many more that you could see. And I don’t remember ever seeing such a large sandbar behind the rocks. Wow!
I couldn’t decide which photograph I liked better: the one with the water and sand in the foreground or the one with the beach grass. What do you think?
I never get tired of this view from the road driving from Nauset Light to Coast Guard Beach. And, if no one is around, you might even be able to stop your car and get a good photograph!
When you think of Cape Cod, many people think of the beautiful beaches and the iconic beach fences. I loved this one at Herring Cove Beach right after it had snowed. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I took the same fence from two different perspectives. Which one do you like better?
The clouds look almost like a watercolor painting, don’t you think?
I was taking a walk down Coast Guard Beach toward Nauset Spit the other day when I saw this couple walking along, holding hands. I thought how wonderful it seemed… a walk on this spectacular beach with a special person!
There was quite a bit of sand that washed in from the Nor’easter a couple of weeks ago here on Cape Cod. The bottom of the stairs at Marconi Beach were pretty buried as you can see in the first photograph. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
The good new is that the stairs are still standing and you can still use them to take a nice walk on the beach. I think staying to the right side going down is a little bit easier, as on the left side the sand is pretty high.
I’m sure it will take a little bit of time to dig them out come spring, but well worth the wait as Marconi Beach is one spectacular beach… any time of the year!
