Cape Cod BEACH COTTAGE TOWN NECK & BOARDWALK
Sandwich, Ma
A VERY WARM
Welcome Welcome to M&Seas! We are so glad you've chosen to stay at our sweet little beach cottage.
AT A GLANCE A romantic, completely renovated 1950s beach
The central location of our cottage is why we own
cottage in walking / biking distance from multiple
it (and hey - we are locals, so we REALLY hate
beaches, historic downtown Sandwich, the famed
traffic). The idea that anyone wants to get in their
Boardwalk, the Cape Cod Canal bike path, dozens of
car again after driving all the way to the Cape
restaurants, shops, and easy access to Old Kings
seems unappealing. Here, at little M&Seas, the
Highway.

Directions: right out of the cottage onto Carman Ave - go to the end of Carman, then left onto Dillingham, right onto Wood Ave. At the end of Wood Ave is the beach.
Heritage Museum and Gardens
https://heritagemuseumsandgardens.org 67 Grove St, Sandwich, MA 02563
A day at the beautiful expanse known as Heritage is a must. Less than a 5 minute drive from the cottage, this botanical wonderland also has an aerial park and museum (including a drool-worth car museum and a children's area known as Pixie Hollow). Open April through December, Heritage hosts wine festivals, car festivals, touring museum displays, and fabulous Halloween and Christmas displays.
First Beach & Treehouse Brewing Company Only a 4 minute walk from the cottage is First Beach, which is at the north end of the Cape Cod Canal and runs past the award winning Treehouse Brewing Company.
https://treehousebrew.com/visiting-sandwich A 4 min walk or 1 min by bike. Directions: left out of the cottage, right onto Knott Ave. Follow Knott to the end and the beach and Brewing Company are to the left.
The Sandwich Glass Museum
https://sandwichglassmuseum.org
THINGS TO DO
129 Main St, Sandwich, MA 02563 Back in the day, Sandwich was famed for its glass products, including a deep blue colbalt glass that is still highly collectible. Today, the history and craft of "Glasstown, USA" is kept alive at the Sandwich Glass Museum (started in 1825) where beautiful glass pieces are for sale, and visitors can watch men and women blow glass at the forge. The museum is biking distance from the cottage or a 2 minute drive. The Cape Cod Canal (bike path starts at the Sandwich Marina) 20 Freezer Road, Sandwich MA Walking and biking distance from the cottage is the Cape Cod Canal, the start of which can be located at the recreational parking area near the Sandwich Marina. A ride or walk along this is a true chance to spot nature, including dolphins, sunfish, and the occasional seal. Stripper fishing here is incredible, as is shipwatching. Along side the canal, the Cape Cod Railroad can sometimes be spotted carrying visitors to and from the Cape, or waiting patiently as the train bridge lowers to allow the train to cross the water. Starving after a 7+ mile ride? No problem - the Marina is home to 3 restaurants, including our favorite, Fishermen's View.
Street Festivals, Shops, Food, Spas, and . . . trout?
https://www.sandwichmass.org/35/Visitors Numerous street festivals occur in Sandwich and can be found on the town's Calendar of Events online. Restraurants and ice cream shops are everywhere, all walking or biking distance, and the Beach Plum Day Spa is located in downtown Sandwich. Want to get splashed? Head to the Sandwich Fish Hatchery and toss food to the fishies to make them go crazy - the kiddos will love it.
TRANSPORT
Getting around BIKES We strongly recommend you bring your bikes to the cottage. There is so much to see in do in a mere 2 mile radius, that you could bike everywhere. Please remember to bring bike locks to secure your bikes at the beach. WALKING Bring good walking shoes as, like biking, there is an enormous number of places and beaches a short walk from the cottage. Got kids? Wagons or strollers are a great item to also pack.
TRAINS & PLANES Coming to the cottage via the Cape Flyer (train)? The closest station would be Buzzards Bay in Bourne. If you are flying in, Plymouth & Brockton Bus lines come from both Logan Airport and TF Green and drop off in Sagamore Beach (Bourne). From these Bourne stations, UBER can get you to the cottage.

ATTRACTIONS
What to see here
The Hiking and bike trails of Cape Cod
History, Art, and Museums Galore!
There are dozens upon dozens of walking and biking trails on Cape Cod. We HIGHLY recommend swing down to Titcombs Bookshop on Rte 6A in Sandwich and grabbing a copy of WALKING THE CAPE & ISLANDS. (picture above is not Ireland, but right here on the Cape, in Truro).
From the famed Whydah, to the JFK, to the Cahoon and the Natural History Museum, tours and history (including ghost tours) are everywhere on the Cape. We are big fans of the Whydah Museum, which to this day is the greatest pirate gold ship ever found, right off our coast.
Bonfires on Beaches / Off-Roading on Sand Beach bonfires are allowed after 5pm on Sandy Neck with a $5 permit (that you can get at the gatehouse). 4 wheel drive vehicles can also get day passes to off-road on Sandy Neck and The National Seashore (you will need a rope, tire pressure gauge, wooden board, and shovel to be allowed to go out in your vehicle).
Beaches, Beaches, Beaches
The Cape offers a staggering 72+ miles of beachfront. If you do want to jump in the car and day trip to other beaches, feel free to do so - most charge for parking, roughly $15, for a day. We strongly advise caution when swimming anywhere in the National Seashore due to the sharks.
ENTERTAINMENT
What to do SHOPPING
Downtown Sandwich and all along Rte 6A (Old Kings Highway) boasts many boutique shops. Need something more commercial? The Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis is a sizable shopping mall, and the Mashpee Commons in Mashpee is a very unique shopping area that feels like a village all its own. Either location is 20 minutes by car.
Live Music
Almost every major restaurant on the Cape offers live music most nights. Some of the best bands can be found at the British Beer Company, Fishermen's View, The Pilot House, Tree House Brewing, The Sagamore Inn, and the Sandwich Taverna. For a full list of local restaurants, see our "Cheat Sheet" pages. Lists for nightlife and dancing can be found online by Googling Cape Cod Nightlife.
Movies, Plays, Whales, and More. Sandwich does have its own movie theater (Heritage Theaters) about a 7 minute drive from the cottage. If you brave a further drive (say, 50 minutes), their is also the Wellfleet Drive-In. Of course, there is a huge offering of theater (playhouses) also on the Cape including The Cape Playhouse, The Barnstable Comedy Club, Harwich Jr Theater, and the Wellfeet Harbor Actors Guild. For concerts and stand up comedy, check out the Cape Cod Melody Tent. Oh, and don't forget to catch a Whale Watch Tour.
