Finding Beauty in a Cape Cod Winter

This has been quite a month and I’m pretty sure most of us are tired of the “S” word by now. Rain is predicted after beginning as snow for tonight and tomorrow and although it will probably make a mess of the roads I’ll be glad to see at least some of these huge snow piles wash away.

The beaches, though cold, have been stark and gorgeous, if you like that sort of thing, which I do.

My husband and I took some time off to go exploring down Cape this past week and the reward was well worth it.

We originally aimed for Chatham so took Rt. 28, the southern route. This allowed us to stop at Seagull Beach in West Yarmouth

and West Dennis Beach

Chatham was freezing cold and windy so we just looked onto South Beach from the parking lot.

We decided to head on up to Eastham and stopped at Fort Hill

And Coast Guard Beach

And First Encounter Beach

Our last stop of the day was Paine’s Creek in Brewster

As we traveled the temperature dropped about 20 degrees from morning until late afternoon but we went well prepared. Have you been out and around since all this snow fell? What is your favorite snowy beach scene?
