There are so many picnic areas in the National Seashore, that sometimes you have to choose which one you like better! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
One on our favorite areas to picnic is near Doane Rock where it is shady and cool. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
These picnic areas are near Doane Rock and have room for a family or a larger group. They are all accessible by car which makes it very easy. Have you ever picnicked there?
There was a lot of activity at Fort Hill yesterday morning as the Eastham Painters Guild set up their easels while picking their favorite place to paint. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
They couldn’t have picked a better day as the skies and the views over Nauset Marsh were just beautiful!
This is one of our favorite picnic spots… at Coast Guard Beach overlooking Nauset Marsh. There are usually some birds around and lots of wildflowers blooming nearby. It doesn’t get much prettier! And… you’re only a short walk to the beach!
I always look for these tiny, little Canada Mayflowers this time of year as they only bloom in May and June. They are a small woodland plant with 4-petaled flowers clustered on stems like miniature bottle brushes. There are many of these by the boardwalk on the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill.
The flowers are tiny… less than 1/4″ and the plant only grows from 3″-6″. Have you seen any Canada Mayflowers this year?
