We took a drive up to Provincetown and stopped at Herring Cove Beach the other day. We had not been there in a couple of years and the changes were amazing! There is a new road and parking lot. Here you can see all of the beach grass that they planted to keep erosion down. The trails leading from the parking lot to the beach are spread out and fenced in along the newly planted beach grass.
Kudos to the Cape Cod National Seashore. It looks fantastic… and the beach looks huge! You can even see the Race Point Lighthouse way in the distance.
We were so surprised to see so many seals still swimming around at Coast Guard Beach the other day. They were pretty close to shore. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It was low tide so we walked down the beach to Nauset Spit where we saw a huge sandbar covered with hundreds of seals. And were they making a racket! You could hear them from far away!
This fall has been just gorgeous for hiking here on Cape Cod. We’ve had warm temps, sunny skies and breezy winds. Fort Hill was especially pretty this day, don’t you think? Love those clouds!
It was the perfect day and the perfect place for the paragliders to set up and show everyone what they do! And, were they good! It was so much fun to watch them maneuver up and down the beach… over the water and over the dunes. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
In doing some reading, I did not realize that White Crest is one of the few approved “launching sites” in Massachusetts for paragliders and hang gliders. How cool… and right in our back yard!
I loved these 2 photographs of their colorful para gliders. The sky, as well as the para gliders, was amazing!
