Exploring Coastal Cape Cod - Nauset Beach and Little Pochet Island
Description
The ever-changing coastline of Cape Cod is vibrant, diverse and dynamic. Barrier beaches, salt marshes, tidal flats, coastal heathlands, and maritime forests are just some of the incredible systems we will explore in this series that celebrates these unique and essential habitats that dot our coastline.
These hikes will traverse through the varied coastal landscapes of Cape Cod - from dramatic dunes and bluffs of the Atlantic, to the vast and vibrant vistas of our salt marsh systems, and to the beautiful expanses along the tidal flats and barrier beaches of Cape Cod Bay. Specific locations for the entire series are listed below and are offered as individual sessions.
February 3: Great Island, Wellfleet

March 23: Coast Guard Beach, Eastham
April 6: High Head, Truro

Each walk will average 4-5 miles in length and on varied terrain-from established wooded trails to beach sand and up-and-down a few hills and dunes. We will stop to enjoy the birds, including migratory waterfowl, and other wildlife we may encounter. We will also take water breaks and stop for lunch.
Discover the beauty of the Outer Cape in this series of guided walks beyond the sanctuary's boundaries.
