Friday Fotos - Long Beach, Plymouth, MA

The weather was so warm this week at the end of January (60 degrees) that we decided that Tuesday, January 31 was a good beach day.  We packed Greta into the car and headed for Long Beach, Plymouth's town beach.  Long Beach is a 3 mile narrow peninsula that protects Plymouth Harbor.  In the winter, you can drive on the one sandy road if you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle.  However, we tried driving it last year and almost got stuck in the sand.  On this day, we saw a women who was so stuck in the sand that she had to have a tow truck pull her out.  We parked at the public beach parking lot and walked most of the entire beach, probably over 2 miles (one way).  Here are some pictures of our day at the beach.
