When the tide goes out on Cape Cod Bay, it really goes out. You can see all of the “flats” that appear at low tide at First Encounter Beach.

Pretty cool, don’t you think? Have you ever seen low tide on Cape Cod Bay?

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…

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?
