Handicapped Mat At Coast Guard Beach In Eastham On Cape Cod Is Awesome!

There is a handicapped mat, almost like a ramp-type mat, at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod. It is awesome in that people with wheelchairs can get up and down the mat to access the beach.

Today I saw a man in a wheelchair with big rubber tires using the mat to come up from the beach. How wonderful that handicapped people can get to the beach and enjoy it.

What a great invention!

Rock Harbor In Orleans On Cape Cod Is Very Busy This Summer

There were a lot of boats, big and small, going in and out of Rock Harbor the other day. It was a nonstop parade of boats.

At Rock Harbor you have to go in or out with your boat about 2 hours before or 2 hours after high tide or you will get stuck at low tide. The tides on Cape Cod Bay have a huge swing.

Rock Harbor has very unique channel buoys. They look like trees planted in the bay. Very cool.

Have you ever been to Rock Harbor?
