Retirement Tips

Boardwalks are popular paths for the elderly because they provide even footing and have rails for balance. The Cape has many boardwalks that stretch across tidal marshlands. The 860-foot Bass Hole boardwalk, in Yarmouthport, passes alongside an osprey nest. Sandwich's famous boardwalk connects to the town beach on Cape Cod Bay, while Uncle Tom's Bridge in Wellfleet leads to a small harbor island and conservation area.

The real secret to a happy retirement is not to retire from life's challenges. It is important to develop new interests. Take advantage of the classes at Cape Cod Community College, (508) 362-2131, or those offered by the Sandwich Schools (508) 888-5300.

Prime Time, a free publication put out by the Cape Cod Times, is geared specifically for the 50-plus crowd. You may pick up a copy at local libraries or groceries stores throughout the area.
