About Sandwich, MA

The oldest town on Cape Cod, Sandwich brims with historic buildings, fabulous fresh seafood and picturesque scenery. A brilliant introduction to the peninsula, Sandwich is a popular spot for relaxed summer holidays or long weekends away from Boston as a family or couple. There is a small selection of excellent accommodation options in town, including simple inns and chic boutique hideaways catering to an array of tastes and budgets. Many of the best places to stay in Sandwich are charming B&Bs within easy reach of top-notch eateries specialising in superb seafood and seasonal produce.

Like much of Cape Cod, Sandwich is a great spot for foodies. The farmers’ market on the historic village green is the perfect place to stock up on local delights before heading to the beach or on a longer hike with plenty for a picnic. You’ll also find friendly eateries serving fish & chips, and freshly-caught clams and lobster rolls — a classic Massachusetts feast.

The 100-acre Heritage Museums & Gardens and the Green Briar Nature Centre offer great family days out, whilst the Cape Cod Canal is ideal for a stroll. Visit the Sandwich Glass Museum, tour Hoxie House — the oldest house on Cape Cod — and pick up a quirky piece of history at the Sandwich Auction House if you can.

Expect hiking and cycling trails, kayaking, sailing and fishing opportunities, as well as some striking golf courses in the area. There’s certainly no shortage of activities for travellers of all ages! The best places to stay in Sandwich fill up fast during the summer months, so book your trip well in advance.
