cape cod dunes are like hills next to the marsh or beach on cape cod here is a better explaination Dunes are created when strong coastal winds sweep grains of sand inland. Beach grass, driftwood, plants and anything in the wind's path trap the sand, which gradually mounds and begins to take shape: a gentle slope on the windward side can go to heights of one hundred feet, with a hard drop on the lee. As if never content with its creation, the wind continuously sculpts and shifts the sand, creating an every-changing maze of hummocks and intervening valleys.
Nature On The Dunes
The ecology of dunes are a naturalist's paradise. Beach plum, saltspray roses, bayberry, and beach heather flourish. Blueberries and wild cranberry bogs bear fruit. Cattails and prickly pears, beach grass and beach pea, jack-in-the-pulpit and seaside asters appear around every corner.
The dunes are also host to hundreds of resident and migratory birds and fox, deer and rabbits also leave their imprints in the sand of this peaceful part of Cape Cod.
This natural piece of Cape Cod is only accessable two ways: oversand vehicle or on foot. A permit is required for oversand vehicles and knowledge of access points, restrictions and regulations are also needed (a lot of work for what should be a carefree excursion).
