Just about everyone who hikes at Fort Hill passes this rock on the trail. In the summer, a Rose of Sharon flower grows out from the deep crevice. In the winter, it’s just a large glacial rock which makes a nice backdrop if you’re looking across Nauset Marsh toward Coast Guard Station.
It was a spectacular day for a walk to Coast Guard Beach from Doane Rock. The weather was beautiful with a slight breeze on the beach. And then you turned around to head back. Wow! Look at those clouds over the boardwalk. It looks someone threw some cotton candy into the sky!
