Route 6A
There are those of us residents who make a day trip out of Route 6A...as it is in many ways a destination unto itself. It begins in Sandwich and continues all the way to Orleans. There’s a lot to see in those 34 miles, but the road is winding, often narrow, as its ancestor must have been, the original Native American trail it once was. Eventually named "Old King’s Highway," it served as the main thoroughfare down the Cape until Route 6 was built (Route 28 will get you there too, but it is more twentieth and twenty-first century). When you want Cape Cod history incarnate, Route 6A gives you this and more. Every season is the best one to make the trip. Many grand homes owned by sea captains who knew about storms and so built away from the water have water views yet, if only in winter. The traveler can catch glimpses of the bleached dunes of Sandy Neck between side porches and through side yards. The front lawns of simple Capes are graced in spring with daffodils and hedges of forsythia. I n summer, the heat clings in the lush green of stately trees. Autumn is a long bittersweet ride of oranges, reds, old fashioned mums blooming over stone walls. But these are just the visuals. There are antique shops, galleries, restaurants, conservation areas and side roads to the water along the way.
