These two towns are located on the Cape Cod peninsula in Massachusetts and are home to the historic Kalmus Park Beach and the private Kennedy Compound. In Hyannis, you can visit the John F. Kennedy Museum, which chronicles the assassinated president&#8217;s family vacations. You can also enjoy the Maritime Museum&#8217;s boat building exhibits. And if you&#8217;re in the mood for a day at the water, consider taking the ferries to nearby Nantucket Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnstable and Hyannis are both close to the sea. The town of Barnstable has eleven public beaches, which are open to the public. The rest of the beaches are private and reserved for residents of the town. The parking fees for these beaches are collected from visitors. However, you can avoid paying these fees by biking to the beach or walking to the beach. You may also want to consider visiting the maritime museum or a tent theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two towns have two airports. The Cape Cod Airfield is a small airfield, which is primarily used by private aircraft. The Barnstable Municipal Airport is the local airfield and is used for regional flights. The nearest international airport is Boston&#8217;s Logan International Airport, and it serves both Cape Cod and the islands. Aside from the airports, the towns are home to the main ferry lines to the islands of Nantucket and Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more than 100 miles of coastline on the Cape. Several popular beaches are in the towns, including the tourist hotspot Craigville Beach and Sandy Neck, which has hiking trails. If you&#8217;re looking for golfing, the towns also offer three public golf courses and two town-owned courses. If you&#8217;re looking for some indoor recreation, check out the Hyannis Youth and Community Center. It is a 105,000-square-foot facility with two NHL-regulation ice rinks and cafes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways to get around in Hyannis and Barnstable. For tourists, the town is home to seven villages. The main village is the commercial center, while Osterville is known for its scenic beaches. The town of Hyannis is divided into seven villages, all of which are worth visiting. A visit to Barnstable and Hyannis should not be missed. The schools are closed today, but emergency personnel will still report to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The towns of Hyannis and Barnstable are connected by a ferry. Neither town is located far from the other, making it easy to reach the town by car or by ferry. The two towns are home to the Cape Cod Community College, which offers online classes to students and professionals. While Barnstable is home to the University of Massachusetts, it is still one of the largest in the area. At the same time, Hyannis is home to several museums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The towns of Barnstable and Hyannis are a popular spot for summer vacationers, thanks to the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
