THE SPIT, Scituate, Massachusetts-Whimsical Poster

The Spit is located at the mouth of the North and South Rivers. This is where the two rivers meet and enter
the ocean. The Spit is part of a barrier beach system. The mouth of the rivers was not always located here. The “old” mouth of the North and South Rivers is further upstream of the South River at Rexhame beach. The “new inlet” where the
mouth is today was formed in 1898 when a northeaster named the “Portland Gale” broke through the barrier
beach at this location. Facing the ocean from the Spit to the left is Third Cliff in Scituate and to the right is
Fourth Cliff, which is also Scituate althouth they are not connected by land anymore before the storm in
1898 you could walk from Third Cliff to Fourth Cliff!.
