A beautiful morning for beach-combing on Nauset Beach, Orleans…The shipwreck is believed to be the three masted schooner “Montclair” which ran aground off Orleans in 1927…th…
I loved the purple color of this starfish I found at Nauset Beach, Orleans, MA, Cape Cod. As I was helping it make it out to sea before the tide went out, I caught this shot of it below the waves.

Nauset Beach in Orleans is one of the town managed beaches within the Cape Cod National Seashore. It has restrooms, showers, a snack bar - it's a very well kept resource. Access is free for Orleans residents - visitors in 2012 pay either $15/day during the summer season (roughly Memorial Day to Labor Day) or a full seasonal pass for out-of-towners is available at $175. This beach has lower dunes than those farther north on the outer cape. And what a location this is - 3 miles of sand if you turn north and 7 miles of sand if you turn south - all within the National Seashore and on public land. These yellow flowers are a clear sign that the end of summer is at hand. Lots of seals this year, thus, sharks looking for an easy treat have been seen closer to shore hunting a seal meal. Notwithstanding the warning signs (and an actual shark attack recently farther north), some folks braved the waves - maybe their last chance this season before the air and water temperature get too cool. Most folks were content to stay out of the water and amble along the surf line. I guess it had to come to this - WIFI at the beach- we sure do love our technological gadgets. I feel like a renegade when I leave my cell phone in the car instead of carrying it in my pocket. I'm not a devoted fan or even occasional Facebook user and I know they didn't invent the popular "like"symbol. It's been around for a long time and it certainly applies to Orleans Nauset Beach in the Cape Cod National Seashore.
