This Quiet, Sandy Massachusetts Beach On Cape Cod Hides Behind A Difficult But Wildly Rewarding Trail

For anyone who loves a walk on the beach, the Great Island Trail on the Outer Cape region of Cape Cod may make both feet and heart go pitter-patter. That's because the 3.9- or 8.8-mile trail (depending on which loop you take) takes in some of the best ocean views and sandy dunes in Massachusetts. It starts a few miles west of downtown Wellfleet, the beachy beauty of Cape Cod without crowds. From the fast-filling parking lot of Chequessett Neck Road, the trail heads south through an aromatic pitch pine forest to reach the beach. A few steps in from the parking lot, find the grave of a Wampanoag woman, now covered with shells, pebbles, pinecones, and other talismans. Discovered in 1953, the 400-year-old bones below remind hikers that they are walking on Native land.

Thin, wounded right whale spotted off Cape Cod. Then came a ‘welcome surprise’

Researchers who usually begin watching for North Atlantic right whales in Cape Cod waters in December are now looking several weeks earlier, part of an effort to better understand what the critically endangered animals are doing before their winter arrival in Cape Cod Bay . The expanded survey season is already yielding sightings. During an Oct. 25 aerial survey, scientists with the Center for Coastal Studies spotted three right whales , including one showing signs of a recent entanglement and a mother-calf pair that is not likely to be seen together much longer. Why Cape Cod right whale surveys started two months early The sightings are part of a push to fill in what remains a poorly understood period in the whales' annual use of Massachusetts waters. While Cape Cod Bay is recognized as an important winter and spring feeding area for right whales, their movements during the fall have been less closely monitored. "Expanding our aerial surveys allows for earlier detection of North Atlantic right whales in state waters and surrounding areas, improving our understanding of trends in the species' distribution and helping inform management decisions," said Daniel Palacios, director of the Center for Coastal Studies' Right Whale Ecology
