A little difficult to find, The Knob is one more good reason to visit Woods Hole
Cornelia Carey Sanctuary (The Knob)的点评
点评：Falmouth's "Knob", part of the Cornelia Carey Sanctuary just outside Woods Hole, is a narrow promontory of large boulders stretching out into Quissett Harbor and best known for it scenic view of Buzzards Bay. But having recently visited the site, I would say the real gem at this nature preserve is the small, admission-free, crescent shaped beach with its soft, clean sand and relatively warm water. No waves to surf here, just a lovely spot to sun oneself and wade into the clean salt water.
While many visitors to the area have heard of the Knob, it can be difficult to find. It is situated on Quissettt Harbor Road, a right hand turn located shortly before the approach to Woods Hole proper. A short drive on the harbor road brings one to the very limited parking area across from the entrance to the Cornelia Carey Sanctuary. Parking is free, but the marked spaces number only 10 with room for another five cars to squeeze in along the side of the road. We arrived around 11 am, saw no space available and drove to the beginning of a private, residents only road where we turned around, ready to give up on experiencing the Knob. However, luck was on our side and as we headed back toward Woods Hole a vehicle left, leaving us a legal parking spot.
The path out to the Knob is a short hike of just over a half mile through the wooded bird sanctuary. On our walk we were quite disappointed as the only birds we spotted were a handful of robins; no shore birds as had been promised in the literature we reviewed before our exursion. However, our disappointment was short-lived when we got to the point where the woods opened up to a beautiful view of Quissett Harbor, Buzzard's Bay and the famous Knob, straight ahead. We started out on the approximate quarter mile walk across the top of the boulders, but turned back as there were signs advising visitors to stay off the rocks. Apparently, not everyone takes the warning seriously as we spotted a few braver folks out at the end of the promontory.
As we turned to walk back to our car, on our left we discovered a set of stone stairs leading from our walking path down to a little beach below. Given what a warm sunny day it was, we were pleasantly surprised to find the small beach far from crowded. Perhaps the lack of a lifeguard and no food, beverage of comfort facilities discourages most folks from enjoying this little gem.
If you are planning to visit Woods Hole it is well worth a short side trip out Quissett Harbor Road and a visit to the Knob -- if you can find a parking space!

翻译：法尔茅斯的“诺布”是伍兹霍尔外科妮莉亚凯里保护区的一部分，是一个由大巨石组成的狭窄海角，一直延伸到奎塞特港，以其巴泽兹湾的美景而闻名。但最近参观过该地点后，我想说这个自然保护区真正的瑰宝是免入场的新月形小海滩，拥有柔软、干净的沙子和相对温暖的海水。这里没有冲浪的海浪，只是晒太阳和涉入干净的咸水的好地方。
虽然该地区的许多游客都听说过旋钮，但它可能很难找到。它位于奎塞特港路 (Quissett Harbour Road)，在通往伍兹霍尔 (Woods Hole) 的道路前不久右转。沿海港路行驶一小段路即可到达科妮莉亚·凯里保护区入口对面非常有限的停车区。停车场是免费的，但标记的停车位只有 10 个，路边还可以容纳另外 5 辆车。我们上午 11 点左右到达，看到没有空位，于是开车到一条私人居民专用道路的起点，在那里我们掉头，准备放弃体验旋钮。然而，幸运的是，当我们返回伍兹霍尔时，一辆车离开了，给我们留下了一个合法的停车位。
通往旋钮的小路只需步行半英里多一点，穿过树木繁茂的鸟类保护区。在我们散步的过程中，我们感到非常失望，因为我们看到的唯一的鸟是几只知更鸟。正如我们在旅行前查阅的文献中所承诺的那样，没有岸鸟。然而，当我们到达树林时，我们的失望是短暂的，前方可以看到奎塞特港、巴扎德湾和著名的诺布的美丽景色。我们开始步行约四分之一英里穿过巨石顶部，但由于有迹象表明建议游客远离岩石而折返。显然，并不是每个人都认真对待这个警告，因为我们在海角尽头发现了一些更勇敢的人。
当我们转身走回车时，在我们的左边，我们发现了一组石阶，从我们的步行道通向下面的一个小海滩。考虑到这是一个温暖的阳光明媚的日子，我们惊喜地发现这个小海滩远离拥挤。也许缺乏救生员和没有食物、饮料的舒适设施阻碍了大多数人享受这个小宝石。
如果您计划游览伍兹霍尔，那么沿着奎塞特港路 (Quisset Harbour Road) 短途游览并参观旋钮 (Knob) 非常值得 - 如果您能找到停车位的话！
