It was such fun to go aboard the Coast Guard’s boat, CG36500 which is docked at Rock Harbor for the season. You can go inside and learn all about the greatest Coast Guard small boat rescue in history. It is an amazing story. The movie, The Finest Hours, came out last January is all about the unbelievable feat!
When you are finished there is a little shack across the parking lot with lots of CG36500 memorabilia which you can purchase. I got the latest edition of the book called, Rescue.
If you’re in Rock Harbor, it is a very cool thing to do …and very educational!
One of my favorite trails at Fort Hill is the trail that goes right down to the marsh. It is so pretty. You can see the birds and the boats and people clamming at low tide. You can even see Coast Guard Station in the background.
We took a walk on Coast Guard Beach on the National Seashore on Cape Cod. It is truly one of the prettiest beaches that I have ever seen.
We walked all the way out to Nauset Spit which is where the water breaks through the beach and goes into Nauset Marsh. This opening changes frequently as the sand shift under the ocean water.
We turned around and looked back and could see why Coast Guard Beach was voted as one of the Top 10 Beaches in the USA! Just spectacular!
Labor Day weekend at Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod was beautiful before the storm when they had to close the nearby beaches because of the rip tides and unsafe swimming conditions.
