First Encounter Beach is in Eastham on Cape Cod Bay. You wouldn’t think that the dunes on the bayside would have that much erosion. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
The high tides and rough seas have eaten away at these dunes the past few years, showing just how precariously close to the edge this house is. As you can see in the photograph at low tide, truckloads of huge boulders were brought in to keep the water away from the dunes.
Wow! It makes you wonder how long the houses near the edge will be able to withstand Mother Nature’s assault…
Yesterday was a windy, windy day and perfect for kite surfing on the creek behind First Encounter Beach. It was fun to watch the 2 kite surfers as they did their maneuvers. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
In the 2nd photograph, the kite surfer jumped so high in the air, I got him in my frame but not the kite. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
I love the dark, dark clouds in the sky at First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod Bay with the little yellowish line across the horizon. A storm was coming in and there was only a bit of light left before the clouds took over the whole sky…
The flats at First Encounter Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod Bay are just amazing. They go out for miles. I loved the clouds in this photograph. Doesn’t it look like a huge white jet flying above?
When you get to First Encounter Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod, you can park in the parking lot, or you can continue down the road where you can park and then hike up over one of the 4 dune trails that lead to the beach. They are really cool, as most of the beach area is flat, except for these dunes.
Have you ever hiked up over one of the dunes at First Encounter Beach? Beautiful, don’t you think?
