First Encounter Beach is in Eastham on Cape Cod Bay. You wouldn’t think that the dunes on the bayside would have that much erosion. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
The high tides and rough seas have eaten away at these dunes the past few years, showing just how precariously close to the edge this house is. As you can see in the photograph at low tide, truckloads of huge boulders were brought in to keep the water away from the dunes.
Wow! It makes you wonder how long the houses near the edge will be able to withstand Mother Nature’s assault…
Phil and I took a walk along the beach on Cape Cod Bay the other day and came across this bench. We decided it was the perfect bench to sit, relax, have a picnic, take a nap, enjoy the views, visit… just about anything. It doesn’t get much prettier!
Rock Harbor is always pretty, summer or winter, cloudy or sun, boats or no boats. I loved this photograph with the little bits of ice on the harbor. Not enough to slow the boats down but just enough to show you how chilly it was last week.
