Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay
Mainland Cape Cod's most isolated coastline, Great Island, is a 3-mile barrier beach and island system separating Cape Cod Bay from Wellfleet Bay.
Great Island is also a reliable location to find the state threatened diamondback terrapin turtle. With an experienced naturalist and paddler, we will search on land and on the water for these turtles as we learn about their unique natural history and the work Mass Audubon does to help protect them.
Bring your lunch, as we will stop for a picnic on one of the island's beautiful remote beaches.
Currents and winds are a factor to consider in this system, and sustained periods of paddling is required of participants. Recent, previous paddling experience is required.
