Drinks & Nightlife
This is a fun place for you to belly up to the bar, chat up the bartender - or the locals - while also getting some great beer options. They often have a cask beer option for the real enthusiasists. The live music is great as well, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.
As for food, we are fans of the pizza, fish and chips, turkey Reuben, and the shepherd's pie and pasties.

While this is also a tea room, we like Dunbar for its wine bar and the live music. They tend to close a little early (9:30ish), and they serve food as well, but we go for the wine, service, and music.

Sightseeing
The Sandwich Marina and the Cape Cod Canal are must-sees while staying in Sandwich. This is a very active marina with lots of pleasure and commercial craft passing through. As an active marina, the marina offers sights of fish being unloaded, tug boats pushing barges, and large cruise ships passing through on their way to Nova Scotia or New York City. There are multiple eating and drinking options at the marina, including a new restaurant being constructed as of this writing in May 2016.

The newest restaurant in town, Fishermen's View has a great location right on the canal and overseeing the working marina. It has quickly become a town favorite for both the food and the view. The restaurant has their own boats, so the food they serve was likely caught that morning!
At a separate entrance in the same building is Sandwich's best seafood market. The stuffed quahogs are yummy (get the spicy ones!), and get some lobsters to boil in the large lobster pots in your kitchen!
Also check out their outdoor bar, Sandie's. It has a smaller menu than the full restaurant, but it is still a fun place to hang out in the fresh air.
