Sandwich Recreation Area

Bikes
canals
and
sunsets
The Sandwich Conservation Area is basically a parking lot and small area right on the south east corner of the Cape Cod Canal. It’s a great place to park for someone that wants to ride the south side of the bike path that runs the length of the canal.
The parking lot of fairly large but in the summer months can get filled up remarkable quickly. Bikers, walkers as well as fishermen and photographers, flock here in the nice weather.
There are relatively clean bathrooms as well as drinking fountains and benches. And of course the views are spectacular. Ships or all types going by and large birds flying and diving in water.
At sunset the light over the water is pretty amazing, especially with the massive Sagamore Bridge looming in the distance. The Sandwich Conservation Area really isn’t a whole lot more than a parking lot. It’s what’s around the parking lot that makes this area so cool.
