“Sand fencing on a beach or dune can assist in building a new foredune or fill gaps in dune ridges. The fence reduces local wind speed and traps sand, with different fence configurations creating different dune forms and heights. For example, fencing running parallel to the shoreline can build a protective dune ridge while zig-zag arrangements can create wider, more natural appearing dunes supportive of vegetation growth.”
When visiting Nauset Beach, many people stop to take a photo of the sand fences up in the dunes. They seem to be so classic Cape Cod while they are hard at work!
When it’s low tide on Cape Cod Bay, you can walk out for miles. At First Encounter Beach, it looks like you can walk forever. The flats are so amazing and ever-changing. Love those colors…
The waves were amazing yesterday at Coast Guard Beach. I think they were the biggest I’ve ever seen there! The drive back from Nauset Light shows the power of Mother Nature. Look at those waves! Wow!
