Walking Through Time
South Cape Beach
Monday, Oct. 12
9:00AM






Moderate pace- 2-3 miles, 1 1/2-2 hours; terrain includes sandy beach, road, boardwalk, and woodland trails.
Description: After a fierce storm in 2009, ancient stumps appeared in the water off South Cape Beach. We'll take a peek at the water's edge to see if we can see the remaining stumps and spend the rest of the hike "walking forward through time" to see what the submerged area resembled hundreds of years ago. We'll include bits of information that recent research has discovered as well as enjoy the autumn landscape of beach, dune, salt marsh, and coastal woodlands. Walk led by staff at Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.
Directions: Meet at the South Cape State Beach parking area. GPS address: 494 Great Oak Road, Mashpee, MA 02649. Heavy rain cancels. Call 508-457-0495 or check www.waquoitbayreserve.org<http://www.waquoitbayreserve.org> for detailed directions and more information. Wear walking shoes.
