| WARM SALT WATER BEACH IN EAST FALMOUTH |
The Beach Department,Superintendent and Falmouth DPW did an amazing job transforming Menauhant Beach in East Falmouth from a pothole filled parking lot and a beach with gullies obstrucitng walking into a beautiful well maintained beach. Now if the Conservation Department would stop hauling in gigantic boulders which prevents access to the beach by walkers on the Central Avenue side and the Davisville side. Some of the large rocks get washed into the water causing hazards when we're swimming too. All the gigantic boulders are imported from the mainland and should not be on Cape beaches. They are a hazzard as the spelling on the No Swimming Hazzard signs at Menauhant Beach state. Soon the exposed pier pilings will be removed. In August the Superintendent will be allowed by the State Environmental Department to add sand to the beach. Also hopefully there will be removal of sand that is clogging Bournes Pond. There were 50 clammers on the pond every day on the last weekend of June. Sand dredging which has been done at every other pond on Vineyard Sound will greatly improve the water in Bournes Pond.
East Falmouth is a beautiful place in spite of the fact that we have garages on our former cranberry bog flowing right into Bournes Pond,no bike paths,numerous Section 8 and low rent buildings and homes,various lumber yards,paint stores,used car lots and other service centers and little town money or interest in beautifying our community which is the entrance way to Falmouth from Mashpee and beyond. All our tax money is spent in Falmouth Village beautification right around City Hall and on the Shining Sea Bike Path. The taxpayers of East Falmouth swim,bike and appreciate beauty too. Please give the Beach Superintendent sufficient funds to be spent on our side of town too. Be sure to remove as many of those imported large boulders as possible especially on the beach and in the water. Many low income people in East Falmouth bike to work. Many of the roads are not safe for bicycling.
