Beach Hopping in Falmouth

Two days after that storm that ended with snow flurries, the temperature went back up into the high 50s and cleared up; it was election day in the US.  Marsha & I headed down to Falmouth so she could show me some of the beaches.  We started on Menauhant Road.  



Across the street from the above pics is this small beach.


The water looked delicious.


Then we went to Bristol Beach.



I found about 4 or 5 pieces of glass this day!


Then we went to Wood Neck Beach, in the Sippewissett area of town.

Much rockier!





There were lots of snails on the move across the sand bars, leaving trails in their wake.

  3. So much fun exploring you get to do! Glad there are still days when the sun is shining and you can get out. Soon enough winter will be here, and hibernation will begin in earnest.

  4. I love all your photos. And, to have beach photos is even better. I live for the beach. It's such a serene place to have a quiet relaxation.

    1. Thanks Sonnia! It really is a great place to walk and relax. Whether or not the waves are crashing or gently lapping, it's very meditative. I forgot how much I missed it living in WA.

  6. Is there a local story about the walkway/bridge in the very first picture, to tell why it was built in such an odd shape?
    I love the pics of the snails making their marks in the sand.

    1. Hi there Cat! Thank you for visiting my blog! I had never been down to that area before so I don't know if there is a reason why the little bridge was built that way. There is, however, a larger version of a similar shaped bridge in Sandwich, their iconic Boardwalk, and that's just been the shape it's always been built in. I suspect it has to do with the tides and perhaps giving kayakers or small boats ingress and egress underneath.

  7. How did you live away from beaches for so long?

    1. I really don't know. I mean I was always near a large body of water - SF Bay and the Pacific in California, and Puget Sound in WA, but I never ventured anywhere to the beaches b/c of traffic on the weekends. I forgot how much closer everything is here!!!! I could never live in a landlocked state though.
