I had never been to Longnook Beach, or even heard of it, until I read a post about it a couple of weeks ago. We decided to go and find it. Looking down from the high dunes, it is a gorgeous beach. Wow! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
There are cement barriers that block cars from entering the parking lot. It makes sense since the beach is no longer accessible because erosion has made the dunes much too steep.
You can see from the sign driving in that the beach is closed.
“The Highland Light (previously known as Cape Cod Light) is an active lighthouse on the Cape Cod National Seashore in North Truro. The current tower was erected in 1857, replacing two earlier towers that had been built in 1797 and 1831. It is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod.“
Highland Light is such a beautiful lighthouse. Have you ever been there?
