For our second warm up for Minuteman hike, we did a 10-mile hike to Coast Guard Beach. We started from the National Seashore Visitor Center and hiked along the salt pond, marsh and cedar woodlands trail to the beach. Then we hiked south along the beach until reaching the opening to the bay. Then we hiked north up to Nauset lighthouse. Next we walked along the shore road back to the Coast Guard Beach parking lot and then on trails back to the visitor center. We stopped at Doane Rock and climbed it.
