We need to take the beaches back! There is no reason the birds, humans and dogs can’t share the beach.

My family has been going here for almost 60 years. I hope someday soon it will get better so my family now can enjoy the beach as we did then. Thank you.

Mass Audubon is the fly in the ointment here. They are very well funded, politically connected and powerful. They absolutely push for this closer and it’s expansion. Until their voice is muted or matched, I don’t see much changing. I hope I’m wrong but I’m just being a realist.

We'd love the opportunity to meet with the representatives of the CCNS and, together, develop a plan that suits the needs of the people who want to continue to enjoy the seashore as we have for many years, while striking a balance with the protection of threatened shorebirds. The closures are extending longer and longer and the symbolic fencing is extended farther and wider with each year. Let's talk bird numbers and nest locations and access. It's time to meet and hash out a solution that fits all.

We believe in coexistence. But when the other Cape Beaches, Nauset and Sandy Neck manage closures using the same regulations established by the state and feds., with good performance in fledging chicks, Race Point bird staff needs to improve on balancing the regulations for permit holders access like the other beaches do and let the Rangers open up the beach!

We made the hard decision to end our vacations in North Truro because we've been unable access the oversand for (2) years now. Been a season pass holder since 1989, but this will be the second season we've passed on getting a OSV permit. Can't plan a vacation a year in advance with the "hope" that it will be open. I am of firm belief that we are no longer wanted here, and there are many other places where we can spend our money. Its a shame we are unable to enjoy a NATIONAL PARK, paid for by US taxpayers, to be closed. No one wants to kill the nesting shore birds or disrupt nature, but the voices of the few dictate the closures to the many. Its time to QUESTION AUTHORITY and demand our rights to access!

I was almost born out on Race Point, now I would love to be able to pass all the Cape Cod National Seashore has to offer to my on children. There’s got to be a way to protect the birds and let us out there!

Shore bird protection and OSV use can happen at the same time with reasonable actions on From BOTH CCNS and OSV owners. It’s a shame that some people like Race Point are closed or so limited they may as well be closed all summer.

There is “Flexible Management of the ORV corridor” included in the latest environmental assessment (EA) it’s time to at least try some of the tools being successfully used on other beaches. The current bird populations are very strong, it’s time to balance things out.

Cape Cod National Seashore was created and intended use was the for the over sands corridor for fishermen and beach goers alike, not a bird sanctuary. There is plenty of room for both to happen.
