Nestled on Cape Cod, the Cornelia Carey Sanctuary, also known as The Knob, extends into Buzzards Bay as a compact wedge of marshland and beach grass. This tranquil spot offers nature trails that wind through the sanctuary, providing a peaceful retreat even during the busiest tourist seasons. At the tip, visitors can reach a promontory with panoramic views extending to New Bedford, the Elizabeth Islands, and the Cape Cod Canal on clear days. The sanctuary’s serene environment and scenic vistas make it a refreshing escape for those seeking a bit of solitude.
