Rusty Treasure On Nauset Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod

It’s so much fun to walk along the beaches of Cape Cod and look for little treasures along the shore. Yesterday I saw this piece of an old board with something very rusty on top of it.

I have no idea what it is, but my imagination kicked right in! Is it from an old ship that sunk out here in the ocean? What on earth could it be?

Did you ever find an old treasure that really got your imagination going?

Pretty Driftwood On Nauset Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod

I don’t see many pieces of driftwood on the beaches in Cape Cod, so it was a treat to see this piece of driftwood on Nauset Beach. It looked like it had washed in and was somewhat buried in the sand.

I wonder how many people photographed this piece of driftwood?

 

Living On The Edge Of The Dunes In Wellfleet On Cape Cod

We had read about a house sitting right on top of the dunes in Wellfleet on Cape Cod that is so close to the edge that it is in danger of being swalowed up in a big storm. So we went to investigate.

Wow!

This house is really close to the edge as you can see in the photograph. It has been in the family for 60 years and was 150 feet farther away from the ocean at that time. We calculated that the ocean has eroded about  2-3 feet of the sand dunes each year since then. Unbelievable what Mother Nature can do.

They are moving the house 15 feet back. Sure hope they can get another few years out of that gorgeous location!

 

Beautiful Photograph Of White Crest Beach In Wellfleet On Cape Cod

Yesterday was such a beautiful day at White Crest Beach in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. There was a little breeze so the waves were kicking in and the skies were glorious!

If you have never been to White Crest, this photograph was taken about 70 feet up on the dunes overlooking the ocean.

Pretty, don’t you think?

Nauset Beach On Cape Cod Was A Very Popular Destination This Past Weekend

The weather was gorgeous last weekend and brought a lot of people out to the Nauset Beach on Cape Cod  to enjoy the sunshine and pleasant weather. It’s starting to feel like spring.

I loved this photograph of Nauset Beach with people everywhere. They were walking, collecting, sitting, relaxing, riding, surfing and just enjoying the ambiance of Nauset Beach, one of the premier beaches on the National Seashore on Cape Cod.
