Weymouth



A rare day South Shore side. I had a couple of hours between birthday party drop-off and pick-up to spend in Weymouth. First stop, Great Esker Park. A nice mix of hilly woodland trails and saltwater marsh. Egrets, cormorants, and surprisingly active horseshoe crabs in the marsh areas. It was low tide so I was able to make it across the "reverse waterfall" gap in the trail without much trouble. I advise sticking to the southern trail loop--the northern area functions as an apparent teen party hangout. After walking the eskers, I had little time left so I drove up to the coast and walked through the exceedingly well-groomed Webb Memorial Park.
