The views of Barnstable Harbor this winter have been incredible. How extraordinary to watch the large pieces of sea ice flowing by with the tidal currents and seeing wind driven ice ridges washing up on Millway Beach. It has been a number of years since this extent of icing of the harbor has occurred.
In addition to easily visible toll, some of the harbor infrastructure and natural resources were impacted by the moving sea ice. The Grey’s Beach Boardwalk in Yarmouth Port was damaged by ice and storm surge, causing pilings to be dislodged and broken. This beloved board walk is closed until an assessment and repairs can be made.
