Wandering Cape Cod again Saturday October 12, 2024 |
September is a good time to visit the Cape. The crowds are gone, restaurants are still open, and it's surprisingly still quite warm. The sun lit my days for a week and a half, rain only the last few days, morning fog adding a little mystery to the cemetery across the street. A kind friend invited me to use her house; her family keeps it busy throughout the summer but fall is a quiet time. There always seems to be new places to explore.
I met a friend from Falmouth, who had lived in Yarmouth Port for a while, at Sesuit Harbor Café, with its picnic tables outdoor along the boat-filled harbor, still crowded on a Friday in September, for my first lobster roll of the visit.

My friend told me stories of Yarmouth Port's historic buildings. We drove back to town and hiked the trail there and stood under the sprawling 100-year-old English Weeping Beech tree. I later toured Captain Bang Hallet's House, carefully restored, but only a few rooms were open. My favorite stop was the home of Edward Gorey, whose quirky, macabre drawings, that inspired Tim Burton's films, brought a smile.

Gray's Beach
Roughly a mile and a half long, the boardwalk at Gray's Beach is built above a marsh, hosting a variety of marine wildlife. One side is marsh, the other beach. At low tide, the marsh looks like a hedge maze with deep muddy lines running through it. At high tide, the maze fills with sea water and the beach just about disappears. A man I met there told me the best time to visit Gray's is when the tide is rushing in and filling the maze. I stopped by a few more times, but never did catch that magical moment.
