Hyannis

Hyannis is the "Hub of Cape Cod".  The inner harbor is located just four miles from our motel.  Here you will find the ferry boats that sail to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.  The Cape Cod Mall is located here, and many lovely shops, and restaurants.  Here you will find the John F. Kennedy Museum and The Kennedy Memorial. A great attraction in our area is The Melody Tent, an open air theater.

Whale Watching

Hyannis Whale Watch has the nearest whale watching boat.  From our motel, it is located just 5 miles away at Barnstable Harbor. Click here for information

Should you visit Provincetown while on Cape Cod, we recommend the Dolphin Fleet boats.  They are the group that sends scientists all over the world to help whales in distress. They send a scientist out on every whale-watching trip to answer any 
questions you may have! Click here to see the most recent whale sightings from the Dolphin Fleet

Cape Cod Central Railroad

One of our favorite pastimes is to spend a few hours enjoying some of the Cape's splendid scenery from the Cape Cod Central Railroad. Whether you are a railroad buff or merely want a wonderful way to see some of Cape Cod at its best, we recommend you go "All Aboard!" the Scenic Railroad.  In the evening, the    railroad operates an elegant dinner train   that has been rated one of the top three in the country by the Food TV Network.  It is a positively marvelous and unique dining experience.

Come aboard the 50' R/V Tiger Shark (shown left) for a unique "hands on" look at the marine wildlife of Nantucket Sound. Behind the wheel is the famous Captain Mike and on the deck is a well seasoned and experienced crew.

Enjoy an afternoon chartering a sail boat or fishing boat out of Hyannis.  There is no better way to enjoy the warm water of Nantucket Sound than from the deck of a boat.
