Join us for a beautiful and diverse walk 🌿🌊! We’ll start by heading down to Salt Pond, following the scenic left edge of the water 🏞️. Our path takes us through what was once Eastham’s historic Cedar Banks Links ⛳, then across a charming bridge 🌉. We’ll traverse gentle hills 🏔️, walk along the Nauset Marsh 🌾, meander through quiet woods 🌳, and arrive at breathtaking Coast Guard Beach 🏖️—where we’ll pause to see if we can spot any seals 🦭!
