Sept 26, 2019 – Cape Cod
Today we had a great day at Coast Guard Beach, which is a nice beach a few minutes from the RV Park. This area is more like Cape Hatteras where you have much bigger coastal sand dunes than you typically see in coastal areas farther south. I bet they really help protect the coast from flooding and beach erosion during storms.
The lower Cape is much more populated…..but by the time you get to the Middle Cape where we are in Eastham, it is much less populated, and most of the land is actually part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. There are 3 towns north of us – Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown, which is way out on the northern most part of the cape. We’re looking forward to visiting Provincetown. From what were have heard, it’s a bunch off old hippies and artists……we’ll see……but it should be fun!
We have really been lucky with the weather. We are supposed to have beautiful blue sky weather for another week! The pics below are Coast Guard Beach at the Cape Cod National Seashore. The Coast Guard facility there was being renovated. The beach also included a nice bathroom and shower facility for beach goers.
There are a lot more lighthouses on the Canadian and New England coastlines, by far, than anywhere else I have been in the past.
Nancy saw something really cool on her bike ride this morning. A red tail hawk that had just killed a squirrel and was chowing down right beside the bike path. She managed to get some pics and a movie without spooking the hawk.
If you click below, it will start a video of the hawk munching on a freshly caught squirrel. The first bite looked like he had big rib bone with his bite
