Good Harbor Beach Footbridge Almost Ready for Fun!

Good Harbor Beach footbridge Gloucester ©Kim Smith 2013

Not yet fully functional with still a few wobbly, rotted, and missing boards, but any day now the footbridge will be ready for summer fun. I walked along the marsh edge early this morning and saw a single Great Egret, cormorants, gulls, geese, ducks, robins, and a Mourning Dove. I put my feet in the water and it was numbingly cold, but that didn’t prevent a half dozen paddle boarders from enjoying the foggy frigid surf.
