Why you should go…

The Cape Cod Canal Region covers Bourne, Sandwich, and Wareham, the towns clustered around the Cape Cod Canal at the gateway to the peninsula. Visitors walk or bike the canal's paved service roads, watch ships pass through the busiest sea-level canal in the world, and explore historic villages and beaches nearby. Two seasonal visitor centers, one at the Buzzards Bay railroad bridge and one in Sagamore, offer local guidance.
