Jump In and other Sandwich, MA Things to Do Tips

Town neck beach isn't known for its sand that's for sure, so if you are going for the day set yourself up on the dune side and take a walk along the boardwalk.

When Hurricane Bob destroyed this landmark it was rebuilt with money from the townspeople who sponsored the boards. You can walk and read the names and messages of those who've contributed over the years. And if you want to do what the locals do you can jump off the main railing at hight tide. Fun and refreshing.

Afterwards check out Twin Acres for icecream right off 6A past the Stop & Shop plaza.

Address: Town Neck Beach
Directions: Town Center off 6A

It's cape cod. You have 3 beaches within 5 minutes of you at all times. It's obvious when they're not shopping or eating, people come to the cape in the summer to hit the beach.

The beaches in Sandwich are not long white powdered sand beaches, they are littered with rocks, seaweed, and shells. I'm not saying they aren't nice, just know what to expect. I where my sandals into the water because the rocks stretch until you're about hip deep.

The best times to go are always first thing in the morning, I mean EARLY, or late in the day. Skip peak sun hours, you still get tan, it's less crowded, and it's so peaceful.

If you go you'll end up at Town Neck, East Sandwich, or Sandy Neck. Sandy Neck is the busiest one and the lot fills up fast.

If the sandwich beaches aren't to your liking you can go to Craigville beach which has no dunes and is crowded but is not rocky and the water is generally warmer. I highly recommend checking out some beaches further down cape, especially in Wellfleet.
