Veterans Park Beach

One of Cape Cod’s prettiest beaches near Hyannis, Veterans Park Beach has excellent facilities and delightful views across Lewis Bay.

Ideal for families, there’s a playground, BBQ grills, disabled facilities, benches, bike racks, showers, lifeguards, restrooms…in fact everything you need for a full day’s activities. There is also plenty of parking in the area for a fee.

The beach is moderately busy but rarely overcrowded. There’s a volleyball court and the all-important snack bar serving burgers, drinks and ice cream. The broad sands are ideal for sandcastles or just relaxing on a beach chair and watching the boats coming and going at Hyannis Harbor.

Located on Ocean Street, the beach is named after the Veterans Memorial Park adjoining the beach. It includes gardens, shady areas and lawns for picnicking, a pool, a Korean War Memorial and a memorial to John F. Kennedy.

The sand is scattered with broken shells and a walk along the shoreline will quickly provide a bucket full of treasures.
