Incorporated in 1639, Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, and settled by English immigrants nearly 150 years before the American Revolution. It is on the Cape Cod Canal, 57 miles south of Boston and 15 miles west of Hyannis, with the majority of its population and landmass on the southerly side of the canal. Sandwich is a mostly residential community. Residents feel that its colonial charm and uniqueness combined with its ideal location make Sandwich a very attractive place both to live and visit.

Sandwich’s beaches along Cape Cod Bay stretch for miles and provide a wonderful view of the many maritime vessels that pass through the Canal on their way to the Boston area. Commercial fishermen and lobstermen can be seen daily from the docks at the Sandwich Marina, the only harbor along the Canal.

Not too far from the Marina is historic Sandwich village, which is a world renowned tourist destination, providing a glimpse into New England’s rich colonial history. The Hoxie House, the oldest house on Cape Cod (circa 1675), the Benjamin Nye homestead (circa 1685), Daniel Webster Inn, Dexter Grist Mill, Heritage Plantation, various art galleries, rare book and antique stores, are some of the attractions that bring visitors to Sandwich from all across New England and the world.
