The Canal provides a unique, close-up view of ocean going ships and tugs underway as they utilize the canal route between Cape Cod Bay and Buzzards Bay. Cruise lines, cargo ships and jumbo car carriers can be seen from the Canal banks. From the simple lines of a working harbor tug to the sleek look of a luxury yacht, the Canal provides a continuous parade of vessels to observe and enjoy.

Multiple Canal access points along both sides of the Canal have been developed into Recreation Areas equipped with restrooms, picnic areas and parking lots.

The sandwich boardwalk is a cool place to visit. On the other side of the dune is a beach and then the boardwalk stretches across a marsh. During high tide people jump off the boardwalk into beautifully clear water. Ask Phil about how much he enjoys jumping off the bridge!

Thousands of years have allowed this barrier beach to develop into 4,700 acres of dunes, maritime forests, and marshes. It is a living museum, exhibiting dynamic landscapes rich with ecological activity and recreational opportunities.

Each year thousands of visitors are attracted to Sandy Neck to soak up the sunshine, swim, and beach comb as they witness the power of the ocean. While extremely satisfying, these activities represent a fraction of the possibilities for any visitor seeking to enjoy a quality outdoor experience.

"Naukabout Beer Co. was founded by a group of friends looking to capture the spirit of Cape Cod in a can. We built our brewery just 10 miles over the Sagamore Bridge in Mashpee with the mission of crafting hop-forward beers in small batches that we'd love to drink ourselves. We strive to create beers and an atmosphere that mirrors the uniqueness of our peninsula and the people on it. This beer is the perfect example of what we always hopped to achieve - imagined, brewed and poured at our brewery. It’s our goal that this brew inspires good times with great people making memories that will last a life-time."

Less than three miles from the ocean, Cape Cod Winery is located on Oxbow Road in the neighborhood of East Falmouth. Much like the beach, our winery is a place of relaxation and we invite you to join us under our large post & beam tent placed over crushed seashells to come sip and savor the flavors of Cape Cod. With over nine different varieties of wine to choose from there is surely something for everyone, whether it is our beloved Rosé Mermaid Water or a refreshing Sauvignon Blanc. Our wines will bring you that tranquil Cape Cod feeling.

In addition to afternoon tea, the Hagartys serve a wide selection of British fare. Lunch and tea can also be enjoyed in the new Tea Garden Room This room has lovely views. The original tea room sits in the old wood paneled billiard and gentlemen’s smoking room. When you enter you no longer hear the sound of clanking billiard balls, you are greeted with the sound of clinking tea cups and the aromas of baking scones, shortbreads, pies and cakes. All of the Dunbar’s deserts are made in house.

Both the original tea room and the dining room have fireplaces that are lit and stoked in the winter. During the summer one can enjoy cool breezes inside or out on the patio that is surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens.

The menu is innovative and the selection of quality teas have attracted visitors from around the world. The Dunbar House also serves a wide variety of British ails and European wines, ports and sherries.
