A beautiful Island to explore by walking, bike or public transportation. Great beaches, restaurants, and shops to explore. Ferry leaves from close-by Hyannis docks. You can also get a faster, cheaper Ferry from Woods Hole - though it is a 45 min+ drive depending on traffic and you'll have to pay for parking. Woods Hole is a quaint area to check out too known for its marine studies and exploration, there is a small aquarium there as well.

The Kennedy Compound consists of three houses on six acres of waterfront property on Cape Cod along Nantucket Sound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, United States.
Unfortunately, the compound is best viewed from the sea, which is possibly by some Hy-land ferry tours, but visitors often love to drive-by and see the lovely town of Hyannisport.
