Summer Like a Kennedy in Hyannis
Words & Photos by Ben Brewster, Creative Director, The Cuff
Cape Cod’s biggest town, Hyannis is most famous for being the summertime fortress of the Kennedy empire. With spacious beaches, a vibrant night life and easy accessibility from Boston, it’s a coastal getaway for the times you don’t want to make the arduous trek to the Cape’s outermost reaches, but still want that old-time nautical New England feel. While you’re here, take advantage of Cape Cod’s busiest port. Hop a ferry to Nantucket or the Vineyard for a sun-filled day trip, but head back to the mainland in time for dinner to experience Hyannis’ burgeoning farm to table food scene for dinner.
