This increase made up for the loss in revenue sales from Off RoadVehicle stickers. In a survey we found that revenue at the three Ocean side Beachesrun by the Cape Cod National Seashore (Nauset Light, Coast Guard and Marconi) weredown four percent.Thanks to Police Chief Roy we received permission from the State to place a portablelighted message board on the Mid Cape Highway to inform visitors about the availabilityof parking at Nauset Beach. In the limited time that it was on the Highway we saw asignificant increase in sales at Nauset.The return of sand bars and the increase in the width of the Public Beach area has alsocontributed to the increased use of Nauset Beach over the last two years.174
