It was a gorgeous winter day for a walk down Coast Guard Beach. It was almost low tide and the sandbars were starting to come out.
I loved the clouds in the sky down by Nauset Spit! So pretty, don’t you think?

It is a wonderful place to go for a hike alone or with the whole family as there are many different types of trails. On theĀ Bay View Trail you can see the salt marsh, the harbor and take a nice walk through the woods along the water’s edge.
Have you ever hiked at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary?
When we lived in the mountains of Colorado, it was just gorgeous but we rarely saw any clouds in the sky. It was always sunny.
The first thing I remarked on when we moved to the Cape were the beautiful clouds. Every day is different and every sky is different.
I never get sick of this view of Nauset Marsh looking out toward Coast Guard Station from Fort Hill. I love the clouds along the horizon over the water.
The view doesn’t get much better on the Goose Pond Trail which takes you to the outer beach at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s a gorgeous trail through the woods and over the salt marsh out to the beach. This is just one of the many benches along the trails where you can sit down, relax and take it all in.
This bench overlooks the salt marsh out by the beach which is mostly filled in with water at high tide. Beware that the salt marsh fills in very quickly, so best to hike to the outer beach only when the tide is going out or at low tide.
Yesterday afternoon was so gorgeous I thought I would take a ride to Coast Guard Beach and take a few photographs from the path to the beach. Was I in for a big surprise when I saw that the barrier was gone and the beach was open!
What a beautiful day it was! I hadn’t been to the beach in a while with the rainy and windy weather that we’ve been having here on the Cape. I walked all the way to Nauset Spit and loved every second of it! Pinch me!
