We took a ride to Coast Guard Beach yesterday just to see what it looked like after the blizzard. You can see quite a bit of erosion in the photograph looking back up the trail from the beach. About 10-15’ of the beach fence is down and there is a 4 foot step down to get to the beach. Mother Nature has been very busy this past week.

Throwback Thursday… Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod Five Years Ago.
1,210 viewsWow! When I saw this photograph and realized that I had posted it 5 years ago, I just had to post it again. I remember Coast Guard Beach that day when the lifeguards didn’t know where to put their chair because the water was so high at high tide.
And the black peat from the old kettle pond was so thick that the water was sloshing around it. This was when the old path to the beach was still there… when you could sit on the bench at the end and just enjoy looking out over the ocean.
So much has changed in just these past 5 years from the storms and erosion. The old path now has a dropoff of 20+ feet and it keeps growing!
Mother Nature will do it her way… every time! I thought it was a pretty cool photo, what do you think?

The new path to Coast Guard Beach is no longer. It got wiped out in last weekend’s storm and left a 10-15 foot drop-off. Wow!
You can see that the water goes way up to the dunes and it was 2 hours until high tide. Mother Nature sure has a way of showing herself.
I wonder how anyone will be able to take a walk on Coast Guard Beach this winter… and how will it be accessible next summer. Thank goodness for the National Seashore and all the work that they do.
