Monomoy Wilderness

No tickets needed. We are met by two incredibly friendly volunteers who gave our kids free color books, apparently a Saturday special. After a 10-minute walk through a gated neighborhood, we found the trail to the park. After a brief Sandy walk, an amazing Vista opened up. Tidal pools, egrets, shells look, shallow water for wading. Perfect for a family with small children. The kids could just run... No tickets needed.

Perfect for a family with small children. The kids could just run and play and find shells. A precious memory.

Coming with good old memories of hiking on the seaside trail at low tide and seeing the trail disappearing behind us being submerged in water and then we had to take the trail through marshland back…, it’s really in memories now! Haven’t been here for almost five years and when arrived we were puzzled “ where is the small museum?!”, we saw a shed with tables for information display instead, later... Coming with good old memories of hiking on the seaside trail at low tide and seeing the trail disappearing behind us being submerged in water and then we had to take the trail through marshland back…, it’s really in memories now! Haven’t been here for almost five years and when arrived we were puzzled “ where is the small museum?!”, we saw a shed with tables for information display instead, later we were told that the museum has been demolished two years ago, even worst news was that the 3 mile seaside hiking trail that we were coming back for was no longer accessible due to the erosion and loss of one session of beach! Anyway we decided to renew ( not refreshable now!) the hiking experience at the time of lowest tide, great vistas of sand bars appeared once we reach to the waterfront, still that blue sapphire like water surrounding a peaceful sanctuary! We especially walked to those eroded coastal line section, trying to find back those old memories not taking away by the Mother Nature! A good place for family with kids or for a quiet moment of your own mindfulness and peace. We encountered a group for bird watching, and spotted a yellow leg sandpiper and a wounded bird ( reported to the staff at the shed), lots of baby crabs and horseshoe crabs. No ticket needed now to access the hiking trail, the trail head located in an upscale neighborhood. Parking space was full by the time we left at 11:00 am.

Wow! What an amazing place! You can already tell it was going to be a unique experience just driving here. The scenery was breathtaking and the place feels like "members only." Unfortunately, I was disappointed they closed off the trail from the parking lot due to erosion.

You can already tell it was going to be a unique experience just driving here. The scenery was breathtaking and the place feels like "members only." Unfortunately, I was disappointed they closed off the trail from the parking lot due to erosion. The provided an alternate route to get onto the trail that loops through the residential area with the huge mansions lining each side. Some big houses indeed! The trail was nice and loops to the beach. I read there were mnaybseal sightings in the area but I didn't see any during my hike. Maybe next time. What can be more relaxing than hiking on a beach on a crisp autumn day with no one else in sight except the sounds of the ocean.
