Sandwich Beach and Boardwalk.

It was a gray morning on Sandwich  beach, as 16 of us hiked the 3 miles from the Canal Visitor Center, around the eastern tip of Sandwich Beach, and by the Board Walk. The tide was out, so Mill Creek, Old Harbor Creek and Dock Creek at the end of the beach  were very scenic.
