About Sandwich

As the oldest town on Cape Cod, Sandwich blends historic New England character with easygoing coastal living. Home to about 20,000 residents, it sits right on the Upper Cape by the canal, giving locals a much easier commute off-Cape than towns further down the arm. The town center is anchored by the historic Dexter Grist Mill and Shawme Pond, where you'll find local cafes, small shops, and quiet residential streets shaded by mature trees.
