Its convenient location makes Kalmus one of the Hyannis area's most popular beaches.
My 8yr old and 4 1/2yr old loved this beach. Clean, beautiful and quiet. Lots of seashells and plenty of space to walk around and distance yourself from other visitors. People around were very friendly

Summer church of the Kennedy's
Just beautiful ! Well worth seeing. Can just imagine the Kennedy's going to church there, very emotional and touching. The doors were open, so we could go in and sit and truly enjoy the majesty; beautiful sanctuary with stained glass windows, and be in peace & solitude. We were there on a Saturday afternoon, in September.

Located on the inner harbor in Hyannis, Massachusetts, the Cape Cod Maritime Museum is a devoted to maritime culture on Cape Cod. The museum houses a rotating collection of maritime art, featuring world renowned artist John Stobart for the 2017. CCMM also displays the largest publicly displayed scrimshaw collection on the Cape and has a primary exhibit that examines the impact local workers have had on the craft of boat building. The Cape Cod Maritime Museum is available for weddings and special events as well.
We've driven past this little museum many times in the past but never stopped in. Friends suggested we visit with them so we stopped by. This little building is chock full of interesting maritime exhibits, from a scrimshaw display, sailors valentines, detailed model ships, ancient navagation equipment, etc etc. and that's just up stairs, downstairs is a boatbuilding workshop and outside is a boat shed with interesting small boats. A fun informative trip and the staff was more than willing to answer any questions and provided a lot of insight. We'll be back. We signed up for their newsletter to get info on new displays.

The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum Foundation preserves and promotes the legacy of President Kennedy, his family, and their deep connection to Cape Cod. John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum is a multimedia exhibit designed to open a window on the days JFK spent on Cape Cod; days relaxing with family, days as President of the United Sates when the Cape provided a time to relax and be reinvigorated and days spent sailing on the ocean to which he was so constantly drawn. The Museum's exhibits features videos and photographs spanning the years 1934 to 1963 and is arranged in thematic groupings to reflect John F. Kennedy, his family, his friends and the Cape Cod he so dearly loved. In addition to photography, a video narrated by Walter Cronkite depicts the president's experiences on the Cape. Several themed areas include charged oral histories of JFK's friends. Please check our website for correct dates and times that the museum is open.
Second visit to the museum and it was great to see improvements to the exhibits being constantly made. The Jacques Lowe exhibition of family photos was great with the highlight being the picture of Bobby Kennedy failing to hide his dislike of Lyndon Johnson at a meeting with the Kennedy boys.
