The past few times we’ve walk Coast Guard Beach, we’ve noticed a platform or walkway starting to emerge from the dunes. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see how close it is to the old path to the beach which is next to the fence on the left.
Does anyone know what used to be there? Was it a walkway? I remember it used to be pretty flat there until just a few years ago when beach erosion really kicked in and the dunes started getting much taller.
We’ve seen this seagull sitting on this fence the past couple of mornings that we’ve been at Fort Hill. He looks like he keeps sentry while overlooking Nauset Marsh with Coast Guard Station in the background.
If you’re walking to Coast Guard Beach, there’s another little “off-trail” you can take which gives you beautiful views of Nauset Marsh and the back of Coast Guard Station. There is a very pretty little boardwalk (before you get to “the” boardwalk) that you hike across that is adorned with very pretty, bright red Winterberries in the fall and winter.
You can see the trail where the X is on the AllTrails map. Have you ever hiked this little boardwalk?
