Things to do
Get to know our historical town
Sandwich, the first town on Cape Cod, settled in 1637 and incorporated in 1639. Today Sandwich has so much to offer all year round.
Cape Cod Baseball
While Sandwich was home to the first baseball team on Cape Cod, our 'local' Cape Cod league baseball team is now the nearby Bourne Braves. From mid-June to early August you can see MLB prospects up close for free and then you can say you knew them 'back when'.

Sandwich Glass Museum
With a long and rich history in glass-making, the Sandwich glass museum is the perfect location to see a gorgeous collection of hand-made glass pieces and watch a glass-blowing demonstration.
Sandwich Boardwalk
An iconic landmark within Sandwich that stretches across Scorton Creek to Town Neck Beach, the Sandwich Boardwalk is a popular place to take in the scenic views and adorned by the local teens for bridge jumping during high tide. It's currently closed while under repair after a severe storm in the winter of '22.
Heritage Museum & Gardens
100 acres of magnificent garden design featuring rhododendrons, hydrangeas, daylilies, and more. Featured on CBS Sunday Morning during their hydrangea festival. Their winter spectacular, Gardens Aglow, is a must see during Nov/Dec and sells out annually.
Fishing & Clamming
Ocean and creek fishing is just a short walk from the house. Saltwater fishing licenses can be purchased at the Town Hall.
If you're interested in digging for your dinner, recreational clamming permits can be purchased at the Town Hall for designated spots & dates.
Sandwich Mini Golf
Tree House Brewery
The incredibly popular Tree House Brewery opened their Sandwich location in 2021, renovating a beachfront property in need of some love. Now you can enjoy a craft beer with a gorgeous view.
Enjoy 36 holes of quaint Cape Cod miniature golf, many of which were inspired by the owner's worldwide travels and adventures.
Outdoor Adventures
Rent bikes, kayaks, or paddleboards from Rideaway Adventures and you can explore on land and in water. They offer guided tours or equipment drop-off & pick-up.
