“Lorna’s Picks”
By Lorna Ciavola , Visitor Center Information Specialist
From the bustling Sandwich Boat Basin, to the Victorian Village of Onset, the shores of the Historic Cape Cod Canal offer visitors and residents alike a sampling of the best of Cape Cod.
Sea breezes, seagull serenades, majestic sailing ships, breathtaking sunsets and the haunting sounds of a distant train whistle will greet you as you explore this beautiful region.
