I love to drive along the coast and see some of the Cape Cod beaches with the huge dunes towering above. Cahoon Hollow is just gorgeous on this beautiful, sunny day.
Spectacular, don’t you think?
The waves were huge yesterday and perfect for surfing at Nauset Light Beach. There were a lot of surfers out there, some in groups and some solo, all looking for the perfect wave. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It was a gorgeous day with temperatures in the low 50s with quite a steady breeze. It was perfect for a long walk on the beach and then a picnic in the car watching the surfers out in the water.
It is amazing that they will surf any day of the year if the conditions are right!
Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous here on Cape Cod! We decided that a morning walk on Coast Guard Beach would be the perfect way to spend Easter Sunday. Were we in for a treat! (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
The tide was so low that the flats down by Nauset Spit went on for miles! Phil took this pano as we stood way out on one of the flats looking back toward the beach. That’s me in the photo on the right with Coast Guard Station way in the distance. On the left is Nauset Spit. So cool, don’t you think?
We’ve never seen the tide this low at Coast Guard Beach. There were numerous sandbars that we had never seen before either. What a perfect way to spend Easter… walking on the beach on such a glorious day!
When we went for a walk on Coast Guard Beach on Tuesday of this week, we were surprised at the amount of debris that had gotten washed up on the beach during the storm the weekend before. You can see some of the large items on the beach. The beach is strewn with old trees, limbs and branches all the way down.
In my post earlier this week, I thought that the debris was from the dunes, but in walking down the beach it was apparent that it had all gotten washed up during the storm. Even the area marked off for the Piping Plovers had washed away, the tide had been so high.
If you do take a walk on the beach, take in mind that the tides have been very high and you might not be able to walk very far at high tide.
