Wellfleet's tidal Duck Creek was once a busy harbor. Now its sunny wetlands offer a peaceful place for a summer's afternoon walk. Here, dogs love to sniff the tidal odors and chase the skittering hermit crabs while their masters can't help but dream a bit and revel in the vivid beauty — like an impressionistic painting come to life — that lies all around. When the tide is low, the water–formed paths among the gently waving marsh grass feel soft beneath your feet, and rivulets of blue, green, lavender and coffee trickle like miniature rivers through the soggy mud flats.
