[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The national seashore beaches are wonderful. They run from eastham (Coast Guard) to Ptown. I love Nauset Beach in Orleans but it does get crowded. Those are all ocean beaches, sounds like you were on the bay side?[/quote]

Yes, my friend was freaked out by shark sightings (and maybe an attack a few years ago?) so we didn't swim on the ocean side. We can ditch them for a day for clear water. Did we need a special car tag to drive there though? [/quote]

It's public land. You just need to pay for parking. And go early. There have been sharks in the bay this year too but the chance of a shark attack is super low. [/quote]

What is public land? You think "National Seashore" means public land? LOL![/quote]

You don't know what the Cape Cod National Seashore is? LOL! It's part of the National Park Service.

Seriously, the creation of the National Seashore is one of the reasons that Bostonians love JFK so much.  But-for that stroke of genius, the Massachusetts coastline would probably look like the Jersey Shore.  There are some privately-owned homes located within the National Seashore, but they preexisted the formation of the park and thus were grandfathered in.  Most of these homes are modest, and the law makes it very difficult to expand them in a way that would encroach upon public use and enjoyment of the park.  [/quote]
