I love this photograph of the massive steps at Marconi Beach in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. They look pretty impressive, don’t you think?

New Ponds On The Back Side Of Coast Guard Beach On Cape cod.
Coast Guard Beach extends into a little peninsula that leads to Nauset Spit, with the ocean on one side and Nauset Marsh on the other. Coast Guard Beach and Nauset Beach were once connected, but now they are not. Nauset Spit is a narrow body of water deep enough for the boats to go in and out of Nauset Marsh and Orleans Cove. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can walk to the end of Coast Guard Beach and turn around or you can proceed further and walk along the marsh side. There used to be a little trail that eventually would lead you back to the beach. Now there are several ponds that are there all the time. You can see they get higher at high tide. You can still find that trail, but it is not as easy.
Such a different view than in years past, don’t you think? There’s very little grass on the salt marsh side.
Cahoon Hollow Beach In Wellfleet On Cape Cod Was Spectacular!
The Waves Were Perfect Yesterday For Surfing Nauset Light Beach On Cape Cod!
The waves were huge yesterday and perfect for surfing at Nauset Light Beach. There were a lot of surfers out there, some in groups and some solo, all looking for the perfect wave. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It was a gorgeous day with temperatures in the low 50s with quite a steady breeze. It was perfect for a long walk on the beach and then a picnic in the car watching the surfers out in the water.
It is amazing that they will surf any day of the year if the conditions are right!
It Was LOW Tide Yesterday At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod!
Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous here on Cape Cod! We decided that a morning walk on Coast Guard Beach would be the perfect way to spend Easter Sunday. Were we in for a treat! (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
The tide was so low that the flats down by Nauset Spit went on for miles! Phil took this pano as we stood way out on one of the flats looking back toward the beach. That’s me in the photo on the right with Coast Guard Station way in the distance. On the left is Nauset Spit. So cool, don’t you think?
We’ve never seen the tide this low at Coast Guard Beach. There were numerous sandbars that we had never seen before either. What a perfect way to spend Easter… walking on the beach on such a glorious day!
