Fort Hill on Cape Cod Was Beautiful!

One of our favorite places to hike on Cape Cod, Fort Hill in Eastham, is only a few minutes from our home. Since the Wilderness Volunteers cut back a lot of the brush, the views are spectacular!

This is one of the glacial rocks that has been obscured for years behind the dense brush. Now you can see all the way across Nauset marsh to Coast Guard Station.

So pretty! Thank you again,  Wilderness Volunteers!

Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod… It Doesn’t Get Much Prettier!

Each time we go to the beach, this time Coast Guard Beach, it looks so different. Everything changes so much this time of the year. You could see how high the tide had come in recently. It’s all the way up to the dunes.

I loved this photograph looking down Coast Guard Beach toward Nauset Spit. The sky was just breathtaking! What do you think?

 

Holiday Family Time At Nauset Beach On Cape Cod!

I love it when my son comes to visit from California for the holidays. It’s so much fun trying to fit everything in that you want to do. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

One of our annual outings is a long walk, or several long walks, on the beach. However when we got up yesterday the forecast was for temps in the low 20s with 35-45 mph winds. Not a good day for a walk on the beach.

So, we braved the cold and the wind for about 5 minutes and ran down to the beach to get a selfie on Nauset Beach. Such a pretty day… but oh, so cold! Look at that wind chill! Brrrr.

Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod Was Spectacular Yesterday!

We took a ride to Coast Guard Beach yesterday, hoping to take a walk on the beach. It was about an hour until high tide and already the water was lapping at the dunes. No walk today; we’ll wait for low tide.

So we stood at the end of the trail to the beach and took lots of photographs. Each one was more spectacular than the one before.

Gorgeous sky, don’t you think?

Nauset Beach On Cape Cod, Looking South Toward Chatham.

When you look at the views on Nauset Beach, they are so different looking north and looking south. This photograph, looking south toward Chatham, was a cloudy day but you could see the the sun peeking out from just above the horizon.

Pretty don’t you think?
