I love the dark, dark clouds in the sky at First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod Bay with the little yellowish line across the horizon. A storm was coming in and there was only a bit of light left before the clouds took over the whole sky…

The flats at First Encounter Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod Bay are just amazing. They go out for miles. I loved the clouds in this photograph. Doesn’t it look like a huge white jet flying above?

When you get to First Encounter Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod, you can park in the parking lot, or you can continue down the road where you can park and then hike up over one of the 4 dune trails that lead to the beach. They are really cool, as most of the beach area is flat, except for these dunes.

Have you ever hiked up over one of the dunes at First Encounter Beach?  Beautiful, don’t you think?

It was such a pretty day with so many fluffy, white clouds in the blue, blue sky. First Encounter Beach, where the Native Americans first encountered the Pilgrims on Cape Cod, was just beautiful. The tide was low so you could see the flats go out for what looks like miles. You can even see Wellfleet way in the distance.

Have you ever seen the flats on Cape Cod Bay? So pretty, don’t you think?

The clouds were coming in from the east as we got to First Encounter Beach. It was low tide so there were lots of sandbars where the birds would rest.

I thought this was such a pretty photograph, what do you think?
