What’s Inn Our Sandwich

Ahhh, the smell of the sea, walking on the beach, wonderful restaurants, an abundance of art galleries and antique shops, golf, walking and biking trails, whale watching, our tranquil marshes and dunes, and cranberry bogs are some of the things you will enjoy when you visit Sandwich, MA on Cape Cod. Our hidden lanes, winding pathways, and quaint streets lead visitors to wonderful historical discoveries and new adventures. Whether you are searching for unique lodging for your Cape Cod vacation, some of the Cape's best local cuisine, recreation opportunities, or just want to relax and enjoy a good book on the beach, Sandwich has it all.

Founded in 1637, Sandwich is Cape Cod’s oldest and most quaint seaside village. It was home to the Boston Glass Factory and, often called the “museum town,” it is rich in history, with ten museum and historic sites just waiting for your visit. Just across the street from our Inn is the 17th century Dexter Grist Mill where you can watch corn being ground as it was when the mill was built. You can even purchase a bag of freshly ground corn meal to take home with you. Here at the Inn we use it in our blueberry-corn muffins.

Also just across the street from the Inn is the Sandwich Glass Museum and up the street is Heritage Museum and Gardens with its 100 acres of beautiful grounds, summer concerts, and antique shows. Visit the Hoxie House, Cape Cod's oldest completely restored house. The other villages of Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Boston, and Providence and Newport, RI are easy day trips. All of this is yours to enjoy during your stay in Sandwich.

The beauty that is Sandwich village can be enjoyed throughout the year, from the beaches in summer to the spectacular color of the changing leaves in the fall, and a Christmas Stroll with a “Currier and Ives” feel.

It's just a short stroll through our village to the 1,000 foot-long Sandwich
Boardwalk which spans Mill Creek and its' marshes. Each plank in the boardwalk is a memorial to someone who has ties to Sandwich; some were married here, some visited, others lived here, many pay homage to much loved pets. Whether at low or high tide, the view across the marsh grass to the sand dunes and beaches of Cape Cod Bay is breathtaking. At high tide you will see kids, young and old, jumping from the bridge into the creek below. We are happy to provide you with beach towels or a couple of sand chairs.
