RideAway Kayak offers tours in some of the most beautiful locations on Cape Cod. One of those spots is Mill Creek in Historic Downtown Sandwich Ma. This spot is also commonly referred to as the "Boardwalk" because of the historic wooden bridge that fords Mill Creek to abeautiful beach facing Sandwich Harbor. In 1991 Hurricane Bob destroyed the bridge leaving Sandwich the task of coming together and getting it rebuilt in a way that would capture its original essence of a major part of the town's history. So over the next year people were able to purchase a plank and place a message on it, so as you make your way over the bridge you canliterally witness the importance of every single plank and see how a community came together to rebuild such a symbolic piece of Sandwich's history. You better believe I have my message on one those boards. Plus the bridge also acts as a right of passage for all Sandwich Residents, your not a true Cape Codder until you've made the leap off the boardwalk and all are welcome to take the plunge.
This tour is based around the history of Sandwich, you are able to see the town hall, church
steeple, police station, etc and paddle almost directly into the center of town, while being surrounded by Cape wildlife. This is a very beginner friendly tour. These images only give you a small peek into the beauty and history that makes up this wonderful area.
