Explore Cape Cod A Perfect Day in Sandwich
Snowy Owl coffee, a Canal walk, Deli sandwiches at the beach, and an afternoon at Wish Co. and Thatcher & Ellery. Alexandra's #1 tip: Twin Acres ice cream is a Sandwich rite of passage — she photographs her kids there every opening day.

Start your day at:
Grab coffee from Sipjack or Snowy Owl -- both are local favorites. For breakfast, Marshland never disappoints, and The Deli has some of our favorite bagels for a quick, easy start.
Spend your morning:
Head to the Cape Cod Canal for a long walk -- sometimes we cross the bridge to switch up the view. For a quieter option, hike Maple Swamp Conservation Area up to Nye Mountain for a peaceful, scenic trail.
Grab lunch at:
The Brown Jug and Cafe Chew are great choices, but we often stick with sandwiches from The Deli to bring to the beach -- simple and perfect.
Spend your afternoon:
Browse local shops like Wave Cape Cod, Wish Co., and Thatcher & Ellery for unique gifts. We also love Modern Vintage -- it's always a fun find.
Indulge in a treat at:
Twin Acres is a must. It's a tradition for us -- we even take photos of our kids there every opening day.
End your day at:
Dinner at Fishermen's View or the Pilot House is always a great way to wind down. And truthfully, we order from Marshland often -- it's a staple for us.
Bonus -- Hidden Gem or Insider Tip:
If you love a good hike, Mount Nye is worth it. The trail is beautiful, and the view at the top makes it even better.
