You can see why Coast Guard Beach, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, is rated in the Top Ten Beaches in the USA. It doesn’t get much prettier…
One thought on “Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod Is Always Spectacular!”
From The National Park Service:
“On November 9, 1620, a ship named the Mayflower, 65 days out from Plymouth, England, made her landfall in the New World at what is now Coast Guard Beach. Captain Jones, knowing that his Pilgrim passengers were supposed to settle in northern Virginia, headed southeastward. Although he stood well offshore to avoid shoal waters, his ship soon became enmeshed in the worst shoals in the area, Pollock Rip. A miraculous change of wind enabled Jones to sail his ship free of the shoals, and he then turned northward to anchor in Provincetown Harbor, November 11, 1620.”
