Beach Conditions

Here in the middle of our summer season, we pay homage to the signs which we sometimes ignore. Here on the bay side of the Cape, we are reminded there is no life guard present.


Here on the south side of Nantucket, we are reminded of the treacherous undertow and not to bring our dogs. Reading this incorrectly one might think the beach is unsafe for dogs. Not so. The undertow is treacherous for everybody, whether you have four legs or only two. Maybe it means there are no dogs on the beach because the undertow dragged them away.


Here on Wells Beach in Maine, we don’t need to worry about beach conditions at high tide, because there is no beach at high tide. The ocean sloppily kisses the seawall and you may not bring your blanket and cooler back onto the beach until low tide.


This starfish doesn’t care much about beach conditions. He’s cool with it.
