Transportation

Sandwich, a central Upper Cape community, is approximately 58 miles from Boston.

How to get to the Upper Cape
From Boston and points north, the main route approaching the Cape is Route 3. This highway leads to the Sagamore Bridge. Travelers from the South and West access the Bourne Bridge after traveling on Route 25. Both bridges cross the Cape Cod Canal.
