More New Dunes On Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

Yesterday morning we were so surprised when we went to Coast Guard Beach for a walk. As we started walking  toward the water, we came across a new dune that was about 4+ feet high. Yikes! (Click on blog link for other photo.)

How would we get down there near the water? We walked quite a ways down the beach toward the spit until we found a spot on the dune that was only about 3+ feet high. Wow!

This new dune runs the entire length of the beach and gets quite high in some places. It is so different than the time we were here last week.

In the 2nd photo, you can see someone trying to climb back up this new dune. It was pretty high!
I wonder what it will look like next week after the n’oreaster comes through.  Mother Nature is certainly amazing! Wow!

I love biking along Herring Brook Road and looking out toward First Encounter Beach. The dunes look so cool as they dot the horizon. And then you ride to the beach and they are so pretty. This was early in the morning… look at those clouds!

After the last storm, we were anxious to take a walk on Coast Guard Beach. Yesterday was a gorgeous day with sunny skies and warmish temps in the 40s. Just perfect…

We were surprised to see how high the dunes had gotten as we walked down toward Nauset Spit. In front of the dunes way in the distance,  you can see a person with a dark jacket. He looks pretty small! Those dunes have grown pretty high in the past few weeks.

I wonder what surprises Mother Nature has in store for us after today’s Nor’easter?

When we walked down Coast Guard Beach a few weeks ago, there was a small dune stretching part way down the beach. It was maybe 1-2 feet high and not very long. (Click on blog ink for other photo.)

Last week when we walked the beach, the dune had grown in height and length. It was almost 6 feet high and stretched quite a ways down the beach to the spit.

Have you walked Coast Guard Beach lately?

First Encounter Beach Dunes On Cape Cod.

The dunes at First Encounter look like they’ve accumulated quite a bit of sand over the winter. I don’t remember them being this steep. It must have blown in with some of the storms. You can hardly see the fence post sticking out of the sand.

Do they look a little steeper to you too?

We were driving to Provincetown yesterday morning and noticed that there was a pretty heavy coating of snow from Eastham to Provincetown. It was really pretty.

Then when we passed East Harbor the snow-covered dunes looked just like the snow-capped  Colorado Rockies! Wow! Pretty cool, don’t you think?
