Sandwich Boardwalk [Cape Cod]

I really enjoyed walking the boardwalk in Sandwich, Cape Cod, last weekend. Built over salt marshes, creeks and dunes, the original structure was destroyed by a hurricane in 1991. Locals were able to donate planks to rebuild it. If you look at the photo below, you’ll notice that they’re all individually engraved (messages run the gamut from declarations of love to inspirational thoughts).

The boardwalk leads down to Town Neck Beach and is especially worth a stroll in the evening, right before the sun sets. On my jaunt, I stumbled upon a couple of girls trying to catch crabs with chicken thighs on a string; a family of good-looking blondes having their portraits done by a pro; and lots of dog-walkers.
