One of Cape Cod's most notable towns is Hyannis. A beautiful coastal town that offer scenic views, Hyannis has a quaint downtown area that's great for trying out a little bit the cape has to offer - vintage shopping, fresh seafood, boats by the dock and most notable, a historical legacy by John F. Kennedy.
While walking on Main Street in Hyannis, you'll find everything from souvenirs to shrimp, and can walk the Kennedy Historical Trail. There's even a JFK Museum. We didn't go inside, but there's a great statue of JFK. Of course, my main motivation was to shop.
If I had a patio, I'd hang these nautical knots everywhere!
By day three of our trip, I had yet to eat any local seafood. However, I found my scallop fix at the Black Cat Tavern. It's located directly across from Hyannis Harbor, so you can take in waterfront views while enjoying local fare. It's about a 10 minute walk from Main Street, but the views alone are worth it.
While I do consider myself to be a city girl, I've always loved being waterside. In New Jersey, we seem to gravitate towards the beach and the ocean in the summer... I guess it's because we're locked up inside during the winter.
It's a huge tradition here in the Garden State, and while I can see boats anytime, there's just something so soothing about Cape Cod's harbors and beaches. I never did make it to the beach on this trip because of the weather. However, that didn't stop me from having my "king of the world" ... and potentially, losing my shoes in the water while sitting on the dock.
