Life on Cape Cod

About Sandwich, MA

Sandwich is rich in history and was settled in 1637. It is the first town you see when you cross over the Cape Cod Canal on the Sagamore bridge and the last town you see before leaving. Sandwich has miles of coast line along its four ocean beaches, three fresh water beaches, conservation lands, hiking and biking trails. It’s a great place to live and work for its outdoor and indoor spots including great restaurants, quaint shops and antique galleries.
