Community Overview

The oldest town on Cape Cod, with historic architecture, Heritage Museums, and a scenic boardwalk beach.

Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, incorporated in 1639. It sits at the western gateway to the Cape, just over the Sagamore Bridge, and is known for its well-preserved historic village center, the Heritage Museums & Gardens, and the scenic boardwalk leading to Town Neck Beach on Cape Cod Bay.

The housing stock reflects the town's history, with a mix of antique colonial and Federal-style homes in the village center, Cape-style homes throughout the town, and newer construction in outlying neighborhoods. Sandwich is a popular choice for buyers who want Cape Cod character with easy mainland access.
