Huge Tidal Pools On Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

We were surprised to see the huge tidal pools on Coast Guard Beach the other day. We hadn’t taken a walk down the beach in a couple of weeks and it had changed so much. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

There were a couple of these pools along the beach, this being the largest and over a foot deep. It must be getting fed when the tide comes in.

Have you seen these tidal pool along Coast Guard Beach? I’ve never seen them there before, have you?

 

Walk The Breakwater In Provincetown To Long Point!

Walking the mile long rock jetty, or breakwater, from Provincetown to Long Point Beach and Long Point Lighthouse is an experience you will never forget. The views of the expansive beach and looking back toward Provincetown are just spectacular! (Click on blog link for other photos.)

 Long Point is the sandy tip of Cape Cod across from Provincetown Harbor.  It is literally “Land’s End.” You can see Wood End Light in the above photograph way in the distance.

The walk out on the breakwater is across boulders the entire way, so you need to be careful and check the tides as the rocks can get very slippery at high tide.

Or, for the “faint-of-heart,” there is a Long Point Shuttle that will transport you from Provincetown to Long Point Beach!

 

Beautiful Hike At Kent Point In Orleans On Cape Cod.

I always love the hike at Kent Point as there is so much to see. Unlike in the summer when there are boats everywhere, the views in the winter are still spectacular. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

I love this stretch of beach along the bay. Have you ever hiked Kent Point?
