    Cape Cod National Seashore - Nauset light

    Cape Cod National Seashore

    If you decide to go on a vacation to Cape Cod and find yourself a)mid Cape b) wondering what it's…read moreall about, I suggest you turn in to the National Seashore visitor center to start. Here you will find EVERYTHING n you need/want to know about why this small piece of land is so important to our history. Here is where the old whaling industry , for better or worse, was at its best. Because if the amount of shipwrecks that happened here, the start of the US Coast Guard started. On this land is where the pilgrims had their first encounter with the native people. So much more! All of this you learn in the visitors center. They will point the way on recommended adventures, hiking areas etc.. A trip to the Cape would not be complete without a stop here. You can also, in season, get your beach passes here, learn which shells you are allowed to harvest and all things of that ilk. A guide will give you directions to where you can get various licenses if you have a mind to try shell or crustacean fishing. These are some of the richest waters for clams, muscles and oysters. I guess what I am trying to say is this is a MUST stop for your continued Cape adventures.

I've never seen anything like it before, the shifting dunes, pine trees, beaches, marshes. The 5.45 mile paved loop is popular for not only bikes, but also runners, and walkers. It's a place that I will long remember.

There's a lot of interesting and good information, and I liked the people. But.... The first half of the tour is in an old mini bus. The bus has tiny windows, like 4" square, and no air circulation. No fans. No air conditioning. Today was nearly 90 out by 10 am, when our tour started, and temperatures inside the bus got so hot that stepping out felt cool! You don't travel far, and then they stop for 10 minutes to talk about what's out the window. It's brutal. Ironically, the travel distances are so slim most people could walk it. But, just sitting on the bus in the heat? Yuck. The second half is in an old shed where you learn about harvesting. Again, it could be interesting, but it's a good 10° hotter, even with the fans going, and it makes it hard to focus. Or even listen. Better weather would have helped. But, we had an old lady in our tour group nearly pass out, and the guide indicated that that was not uncommon. Heck, complimentary water would be nice. Waters are a dollar. The tour is fifteen. It's all cash only.

    Alright. So,…read moreyou're into Pharology and you find yourself in the mid-Cape Cod region. Where are you going? Here, of course. Let's keep this tight and brief. If you come you've got a decent sized parking lot with maybe 100-ish spaces. I would imagine in season on summer weekends, no comment on how diabolical it must be to get a space. For our visit, no such issues. Mid-April weekend with maybe ten other cars. To me, there are three things to do here: 1. You're going out the southeast corner of the parking lot and down the path to the beach. 2. You're taking the walk down Cable Road to see what's left of the Three Sisters Lighthouses. Yes, there is a very small "lot" there that you can drive to but it's also very walkable although at least to me, the sisters aren't much to look at considering what's left of them. 3. The actual lighthouse itself. www.google.com/maps/place/Nauset+Lighthouse/@41.8597353,-69.9516991,596m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x89fb65fd06b8316b:0xbf5c17f8a7fb30c9!8m2!3d41.8601357!4d-69.9529498!16zL20vMGR5MGdt?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQyMi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D If you're looking to climb here's the '26 schedule: static1.squarespace.com/static/58d3b9d8e6f2e19c40afa7d6/t/69d85ec2e179236def9f0375/1775787714973/2026+hours-8x11.pdf Historical context: www.nausetlight.org/history Pay a pretty penny to stay in the Keeper's House next door: www.nausetlight.org/stay And yes, of course, blah, blah, blah, Cape Cod Potato Chip bag lighthouse, blah, blah, blah. Beautiful setting and well worth the hour spent. Maybe on the next visit we can be here for when Nauset is open and the 44 steps to the top can be tackled. Either way, yep, it's worth a visit.

Definitely a pretty accurate description, this is a library that does a lot of things and manages to look really nice doing it. The first library in Eastham was found back in 1878 and like most libraries back then the books were just stuck in the back of the general store. By 1897 the present building was constructed and has served ever since. The present Eastham Library is a small but quaint looking building that looks like it belongs on Cape Cod and blends in very well with it's surroundings. It even has a little model of the real library in the front that would make a nice doghouse for one of the local curs. The library is actually much larger than it seems from the outside and holds 45,000 items. Besides the usually books. magazines, videos, music, computers and puzzles the library also has some great articles on local history, some artifacts and displays and a great genealogy department. A very friendly and accommodating place that attracts, enriches, educates and welcomes visitors from all of New England.

Cape Cod is one of the most visited areas in the country and once you visit you will understand why. You can expect tranquility and phenomenal views of a pristine barrier beach and vibrant salt marshes. The sounds of the reeds blowing in the wind is nothing less than paradise and the pine woodlands are a birders delight. They also have an award-winning, economically friendly nature center with wildlife views, aquariums and educational exhibits. The sanctuary offers many programs for all ages based on research and conservation projects focusing on ecologically threatened birds, horseshoe crabs, and sea turtles. When you visit Memorial Day through Labor Day, the trails are open from 8am-dusk. Early October to late May- they're closed on Mondays, but Tues-Saturday you can visit 8:30am-5:00pm. For non-Audubon members it is $8 for adults, $5 for seniors and $3 for the little ones (ages 2-12). EBT participants are free for up to 4 people when you show your card. This is such a wonderful experience and an educational goldmine for any age! Go. Just go... and that folks is all she wrote.

They have quite a few trails along Cape Cod Bay, as well as some freshwater streams and ponds. Time your visit to low tide. Take the boardwalk trail down to the Bay.
