What a difference a week makes in the weather on Cape Cod! Last Friday we were hiking the flats and having a glorious time! It was chilly, in the low 30s and breezy but very hikeable. You can see what it was like last week in the second photograph.
Yesterday I took a drive to Skaket Beach and took the same photograph that I took a week ago, only this one is filled with ice and snow and temps were in the low teens. Brrrr. Both photos were taken at low tide.
We hiked out on the flats to the Rock Harbor Channel, where the boats go in and out, on the Eastham side the other day. It was so much fun. I had never walked out that far or been so close to the channel markers before. You can see why boats can only use the channel close to high tide.
Enjoying a wonderful visit with my son over the holidays here on Cape Cod. We hiked at least 12 beaches and had so much fun walking the “flats” on Cape Cod Bay at low tide.
There are many beaches on Bay Cod Bay, as well as the Atlantic Ocean, in Eastham on Cape Cod. As you go from Orleans, to Eastham out to Wellfleet, the dunes get steeper and steeper.
I took this photograph at low tide on the beach in Eastham but closer to Wellfleet. It was amazing how tall the sand dunes were, compared to the other beaches in Eastham.
So pretty with the sun starting to go down, don’t you think?
