You can gain access to the Rock Harbor Channel from both Orleans and Eastham. This photograph shows the little shack by the launch ramp on the Eastham side.
Pretty sky, don’t you think?
There is a handicapped mat, almost like a ramp-type mat, at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod. It is awesome in that people with wheelchairs can get up and down the mat to access the beach.
Today I saw a man in a wheelchair with big rubber tires using the mat to come up from the beach. How wonderful that handicapped people can get to the beach and enjoy it.
What a great invention!
There were a lot of boats, big and small, going in and out of Rock Harbor the other day. It was a nonstop parade of boats.
At Rock Harbor you have to go in or out with your boat about 2 hours before or 2 hours after high tide or you will get stuck at low tide. The tides on Cape Cod Bay have a huge swing.
Rock Harbor has very unique channel buoys. They look like trees planted in the bay. Very cool.
Have you ever been to Rock Harbor?
The pink Stork’s Bill wildflowers at Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod were spectacular. They were such a vibrant shade of pink!
Stork’s Bill are small pink flowers with 5 petals in long-stemmed umbrels. The flowers are tiny, only 3/4″ and bloom from April to October.
Have you ever seen a Stork’s Bill wildflower?
