I was driving home from a presentation on the Blizzard of 1978 at the Eastham Historical Society when I saw that the sunset was going to be special. I took a right and went to First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod Bay. The parking lot was packed.
I wondered if there was a concert on the beach or some other activity going on. I got one of the last parking spots. Only when I got out of my car and walked down to the beach did I realize that everyone there came to see the spectacular sunset! People were sitting on the beach, swimming and just hanging out waiting for that sun to dip below the horizon.
When you see the summertime banners in Eastham on Cape Cod, you know there are a lot of surfing beaches nearby. It is so cool!
You can surf at Coast Guard Beach or Nauset Light Beach and just go and enjoy a lazy day at many of the bayside beaches. There is so much to do and so many places to go.
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.
