You can hardly see where the jetty is on the Eastham side of Rock Harbor. It’s been so cold and there is so much ice on the bay, that it’s hard to even see the jetty, especially at high tide.
But such a pretty photo, don’t you think? I love the ice all around… it looks so cold!
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?
It was pretty cool looking out on Cape Cod Bay and seeing all of the ice chunks that had broken apart bobbing in the water. If you stared long enough, they were almost mesmerizing as they went up and down…
I love to walk to the salt marsh and look at the views… toward Cape Cod Bay and inland. This was such a pretty view a couple of weeks ago, before the frigid cold set in, looking inland with those beautiful clouds in the afternoon sky.
