Yarmouth Port, Mass

Auntie Lisa and Uncle Dan have this very cute house as a holiday home. There was plenty of space and we all had a bed. It had a big backyard and was a perfect place to relax.

Today we spent being tourist around the Yarmouth Port/ Cape cod area.

First stop was Grays beach not far from the house at all. It was almost low tide and when it is low tide you can walk across to another beach, which looked like fun to do. There was also an Osprey nest.

We then headed to a lighthouse at Nauset and also saw the three sisters lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1838. All of them have been moved over time due to erosion.

Below the lighthouse on the ocean was the Marconi Beach which is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The shoreline was rocky so it wouldn’t be the best to play around but it was lovely and we had a perfect day for viewing.

We then headed into Chatham where we had lunch at a baseball themed restaurant. I very much enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich which I have not yet had on the trip.

We then got Lisa and Danny also to be tourist as we headed to Chatham Pier Fish Market where we got to see a harbour seal colony and while most of them were on the sandy island across the pier, a few of them were close enough to watch. We watched from the pier, and then moved to the public floating dock to get super close.

Our last stop was the Chatham beach where we saw some marine life including beautiful jelly fish and horseshoe crabs. There was also some seals farther out in the Chatham harbour.

We had a lovely bbq hamburger dinner at the house followed by a 10 min drive to Mayflower beach to see the sunset.

We got super lucky with the whole day, sunny, comfortable weather, seal sighting and a lovely evening.Read more
