Yesterday morning when we woke up, we could hear the roaring of the ocean waves from our home on the bay side in Eastham. I had never heard it so loud! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
I just had to take a drive down to Nauset Beach to see what was making all of that noise. What a treat!
Nauset Beach was cranking! The waves were big and plentiful and just gorgeous to watch.
“On March 9 of 2013 Atlantic Hurricane cut a 100-foot wide opening in the narrow barrier dune at Ballston Beach in Truro, on Cape Cod. Tons of seawater surged into the freshwater marshes of the upper Pamet River eventually reaching Route 6, and briefly turning the end of Cape Cod into an island.”
What an incredible story! I took this photograph from the summit above Ballston Beach on the Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail. You can see where the dunes were swept away and the water went inland.
Mother Nature always has her own way…
