Hyannis Harbor & Main Street
Hyannis Harbor
Cape Cod's transportation hub, with a harbor and commercial street, where harbor cruises offer views of the Kennedy Compound and ferries depart.
Hyannis is the largest commercial center on Cape Cod. Main Street has restaurants, bars and souvenir shops, and the harborfront walkway features colorful artists' cottages and seafood restaurants. From the harbor you can take a roughly one-hour cruise and see the Kennedy Compound from the water; it is a private residence and not open to the public. The Hyannis Port Light is also visible from the water. Ferries to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard depart from here. Main Street is free, and cruises cost about $20–30.
