The past few times we’ve walk Coast Guard Beach, we’ve noticed a platform or walkway starting to emerge from the dunes. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see how close it is to the old path to the beach which is next to the fence on the left.
Does anyone know what used to be there? Was it a walkway? I remember it used to be pretty flat there until just a few years ago when beach erosion really kicked in and the dunes started getting much taller.
We took a ride by Marconi Beach the other day and could see a huge new walkway being erected as you can see in the photo. There were also several signs saying that the beach is closed. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can’t see beyond this as there are numerous orange cones telling you to keep out. I wonder what they are building for stairs at Marconi. Does anyone have any idea? Will it look like the last stairs?
The Nauset Marsh Trail in Eastham is one of our favorite trails and we hike it frequently. Yesterday we had a big treat as we got to the overlook and said, “Wow!” (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Someone had been very busy clearing away the trees and brush and the results were stunning! Thank you, Cape Cod National Seashore, for all of your hard work! What gorgeous panoramic views of such a pristine place!
Color or black and white… which do you like better?
It’s been a very busy winter at Rock Harbor watching the crews construct new bulkheads for the docks. It has been amazing what they have to do to achieve this. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see the giant crane working to move some very heavy objects. That is one huge crane!
The project should be completed by the end of April when the weather gets nicer and the boats start returning.
In another few weeks the boats will start trickling back into the water at Arey’s Pond Boat Yard as anxious sailors and boaters anticipate a day out on the water. Not a boat in the water now but wait… the pond will be full before you know it!
