Sandwich was established in 1637 by the first Pilgrim settlers from England, making it one of the oldest settlements on Cape Cod. However, before the Pilgrims’ arrival, this town used to be populated by Algonquin tribes. Then in 1640, it became a popular destination among early Quakers, also known as The Religious Society of Friends. Fast forward to today, tourists flock to this part of Massachusetts to marvel at historic sites and century-old inns. Besides its extraordinarily rich and long history, it is also famous for its scenic beaches, stunning boardwalks, and breathtaking flower gardens. Plan a trip to the southeastern side of The Codfish State and stay in one of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
