I took a ride to Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore, in Orleans on Cape Cod yesterday was was so surprised to see how small the beach had become after the blizzard a couple of weeks ago. You can see the high water mark and it is pretty high. There’s only a few feet of beach for people to sit on at high tide.
The dunes at Nauset Beach were pretty eroded too and the walk down to the beach by Liam’s Restaurant was surprisingly steep. It almost seems like all of the sand that eroded from Nauset Beach ended up on Coast Guard Beach a few miles away.
I took these 2 photographs looking in opposite directions on the beach. The high water mark on the first photograph is pretty high!
With a huge storm looming, the waves at Nauset Beach on Cape Cod were huge! I could barely open the door of my car because of the ferocious winds which are supposed to hit 60-70 mph today. Wow!
You can see the sand blowing. It was hard to stand up on the beach!
Phil took this photograph of me braving the wind and the cold to run down to Nauset Beach and take a photograph. I really liked his version with Liam’s Restaurant all boarded up and the picnic tables up on end with the snow on the beach. The clouds were spectacular!
It was a cold and windy early morning at Nauset Beach on Cape Cod, but a glorious day to take a walk. Any day is a glorious day to take a walk on Nauset Beach, or any beach on the National Seashore.
The sun had just gone behind the clouds so it looks almost like dusk.
I loved the wind blowing the spume from the waves.
