HYANNIS CAPE COD COTTAGE .com

Veterans Beach is located 3/10 of a mile from the cottage and is directly behind the Kennedy Memorial (a must see while on vacation) and next to the Hyannis Yacht Club

It boasts a lovely sandy beach, snack bar and bath rooms.

The Ocean Street Dock is approx. 1500 feet from the cottage and host a variety of things to do, here are (believe me) just a few:

• This is the dock that the Hy-Line Cruises use to go to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, fishing cruises (all type half day, full day), 1 hour Harbor Cruises, Saturday Cocktail Cruise, Blues Cruise, etc, etc.

• You can take a sailing cruise on antique sail boats like the Cat Boat. There is also larger sail boat cruises.

• There is a Duckmobile cruise (similar to the ones in Boston).

• There is a Pirates Boat cruise for youngsters.

There are 5 places to eat around the Dock which boasts everything from fine dining to take out.

This is also a working Fishing Fleet Dock but in the summer months one would not see as much of the fleet.

Kalmus Beach (which is 5/10 of a mile from the cottage) is a world known Windsurfing Beach. Sailors come from all over the world to sail here. It is one of the few beaches on the East Coast that has a steady summer thermal most afternoons.

• From the shores of Kalmus Beach you can view the Kennedy Compound in Hyannisport

• Kalmus is a beautiful sand beach which has beaches facing both North and South.

• It has a lovely bath house, snack bar and bath rooms

• Hosts a population of endangered Pipin Plovers

• The land was donated to the town by Doctor Kalmus, who invented Tech. Color for Walt Disney.
