On Shore

It is a short walk, or one can enjoy a trolley ride to main Street for more dining opportunities and countless boutiques. Provisions are available at the local convenience, natural food, liquor, and hardware stores that are close by.

Main Street is home to the JFK Museum, which is housed in the Historic Old Town Hall and exhibits wonderful photos of JFK, Jackie, and family enjoying the family compound in Hyannisport.

Fiesta imports clothes and goods from South America. Nantucket Trading, Spectrum, and Red Fish Blue Fish offer a wide variety of lovely gifts and art produced by local artisans. Just around the corner from Spectrum is a nautical bookstore, which carries maritime books, magazines, artifacts and models.

No main street would be complete without a Ben and Jerry's, an espresso shop (Cafe Dolci), a French cafe, and a news store. Way's News is a wonderful place, full of every newspaper, magazine, paperback, and card imaginable.

At the West end of Main Street is an excellent natural food store (Sandy's, 508-790-1580) that also carries some organic and homegrown produce.
