I love walking up the steps and along the path to Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore, in Orleans on Cape Cod. The beach fence is perfect with the waters awaiting in the distance. So inviting…
Pretty, don’t you think?

Lots Of Seals Along The Ocean Beaches On Cape Cod
If you walk along the ocean beaches on Cape Cod, you are sure to see seals swimming along the shore, diving in and out of the waves. I’ve seen a lot of seals at Coast Guard Beach and Nauset Beach in the past few days.
If you walk all the way to Nauset Spit at low tide from either Nauset Beach or Coast Guard Beach, you can see what I call “seal island.” It is a sand bar, not too far from shore, that the seals pile on at low tide. You can hear their distinctive sounds from quite far away.
This 2nd photograph was taken from the end of Coast Guard Beach a few days ago.
White Cedar Swamp Trail In Wellfleet On Cape Cod
I always love to hike the White Cedar Swamp Trail, part of the National Seashore, in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. It is so diverse taking you through scruffy bushes to oak trees to a forest to the White Cedar Swamp where you hike over a boardwalk and then back. It is a loop trail.
One couple summed it up perfectly today when we chatted on the boardwalk. They said it was such a “magical place.” I couldn’t think of a better way to describe it.
Put it on your “To Do” list when you visit Cape Cod!
Surfing And Stand-Up Paddle Boarding At Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod
They are still a lot of surfers and stand-up paddle boarders on Coast Guard Beach, part of Cape Cod National Seashore. It was amazing to see so many people on the beach and surfers, both board surfers and stand up paddle boarders, on a beautiful September day.
We caught a few on our cameras but this paddle boarder was having a great time catching many, many waves.
