Cape Cod Canal Visitor Center

For the scoop on the how, what and why of Cape Cod Canal, stop by the visitor center, near the Sandwich Marina, where interactive exhibits capture the interest of kids. Follow your visit with a 10-minute walk along the canal to the beach; unlike at other beaches, car parking here is free. Ask at the center about its free programs offered throughout the summer, including guided hikes and bike rides, beach walks and talks.
