The past few times we’ve walk Coast Guard Beach, we’ve noticed a platform or walkway starting to emerge from the dunes. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

You can see how close it is to the old path to the beach which is next to the fence on the left.

Does anyone know what used to be there? Was it a walkway? I remember it used to be pretty flat there until just a few years ago when beach erosion really kicked in and the dunes started getting much taller.

If you’re walking to Coast Guard Beach, there’s another little “off-trail” you can take which gives you beautiful views of Nauset Marsh and the back of Coast Guard Station. There is a very pretty little boardwalk (before you get to “the” boardwalk) that you hike across that is adorned with very pretty, bright red Winterberries in the fall and winter.

You can see the trail where the X is on the AllTrails map. Have you ever hiked this little boardwalk?

Just about everyone who hikes at Fort Hill passes this rock on the trail. In the summer, a Rose of Sharon flower grows out from the deep crevice. In the winter, it’s just a large glacial rock which makes a nice backdrop if you’re looking across Nauset Marsh toward Coast Guard Station.
