The Lighthouse Beaches…
Two wonderful beaches to visit in the Eastham area are Coast Guard Beach and
Nauset Light Beach.
Coast Guard Beach can be reached by bike from the bike trail from the Salt
Pond Visitor Center, or by car from Nauset Road off Route 6 directly after the
Visitor Center -- just follow the signs to the lot on Doane Road. This beach is
a favorite walk of mine at low tide, and was the area where Henry Beston
wrote The Outermost House. Sadly the blizzard of 1978 washed the cottage
where he lived while writing the book -- out to sea.
Yet another example of the awesome forces continually sculpturing the Cape
Cod National Seashore.
But here's another gem of a beach for you...
Nauset Light Beach can be reached from Brackett Road also off Route 6, and
then Cable Road and Ocean View Drive. The parking lot is small and
fills up quickly in the summer.
Close by the beach is Nauset Lighthouse. Originally built in Chatham in the
late 19th century, it was moved here shortly after, and moved again in 1996 when
erosion of the cliff threatened to collapse the lighthouse.
The beach is popular for the imposing and towering cliffs and clean white-sand,
and walks that create memorable Cape Cod vacations.
Great Island Hike in Wellfleet...
The Great Island hike in Wellfleet is a 6-mile hike, so allow yourself at
least half-a-day to explore this wonderful area.
Located on the Cape Cod Bay side of the Cape in Wellfleet, drive to the
trailhead off Chequesset Neck Road, and prepare yourself -- and camera -- for an
exhilarating hike. The area is pretty open and so take sunscreen and a hat.
What will you see?
Marvelous views of Wellfleet Harbor and Cape Cod Bay await you once on the
island (hint: it’s not really an island anymore).
Another hint: this is a real nature hike. There’s no sandwich bar
or coke machine waiting for you at the end, so take your own snacks and
drinks. Of all the trails in the Cape Cod National Seashore Park, this is
perhaps the most remote -- and I like that!
Out on the Island itself there used to be a secluded Tavern used by Whalers
and the like. Nothing remains of it today except for a sign to mark the spot
where it was.
National Seashore Province Lands Visitors Center…
The visitor center in Province Lands is off Route 6 and on Race Point Road.
This is the northern tip of the park, and marks our final stop together on this
Cape Cod vacations trip.
The Visitor Center itself has an observation deck where you can view the
majestic surroundings of ocean, forest, and the omnipresent towering
dunes. The area includes two swimming beaches -- Race Point and Herring Cove --
a bike trail, and a walking trail. There’s also a beautiful
lighthouse at Race Point.
The bike trail is a challenging 5.25-mile loop that you can start from the
visitor center. I’d describe it as undulating bordering on hilly.
There’s also a fair amount of hairpin turns, and so helmets and a safe
speed are a must. Believe me the downhill stretches are so exhilarating, but you
can easily forget and misjudge bike traffic coming the other way. I’ve seen
many a tangled mess -- Ouch!
