Cape Cod National Seashore

Leaving Sandwich, get onto Route 6A, the northern route along the upper coast of Cape Cod. It’s a delightful road to follow as it winds its way through the lovely, historical towns of Barnstable, Yarmouth Port, Dennis, and Brewster. These old seafaring communities with their lovely main streets, beautiful homes, and colorful harbors make for a wonderful day of browsing, antiquing, and for just absorbing the atmosphere of the Cape. Continuing north through the towns of Orleans and Eastham, you come to the Cape Cod National Seashore, where you can take a fabulous dunes tour from April through October—a perfect way to see the ever-changing face of the sand dunes of this portion of the Cape.
