Coast Guard Beach, Atlantic beach in Eastham, United States.
Coast Guard Beach extends along the Atlantic shore with extensive sand dunes and patches of beach grass marking the coastline.
The Massachusetts Humane Society established rescue stations in 1786 to assist mariners after numerous shipwrecks occurred along this section of shore.
Nature writer Henry Beston created his book 'The Outermost House' while residing in a cottage near this beach until storms destroyed it in 1978.
From June through Labor Day, visitors must use the shuttle service from Little Creek parking area, as direct beach access is restricted.
The adjacent Nauset Marsh provides winter habitat for harbor seals, which rest on the sandbars visible from the shore.
