WELCOME TO THE MID CAPE
You would be hard-pressed to find anywhere in New England where there is more to see, do, and experience than in Barnstable and Yarmouth. These two popular and centrally located towns offer a wide range of eclectic offerings for the visitor and resident alike.
Greater Hyannis and Yarmouth Chambers stand ready to accommodate every visitor’s needs, whether it be advice on what to see and do or where to stay and eat. Both Chambers can outfit you with maps, brochures and a wealth of knowledge that will make you feel like a local.
The Town of Barnstable’s seven villages provide distinctively different experiences. Villages are located along both Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket Sound. Hyannis (including enclaves of West Hyannisport and Hyannisport) is the Cape’s most renowned village and is closely associated with President John F. Kennedy and his family. Beyond the village of Hyannis, its six sister villages are Barnstable Village, Centerville, Cotuit, Marstons Mills, Osterville and West Barnstable.

The 17-square mile Town of Yarmouth, the Cape’s second oldest town, incorporates three sibling villages —West and South Yarmouth on the Sound side and Yarmouth Port on the Bay. This trio of villages offering 39 miles of glorious coastline, 11 saltwater and four freshwater beaches, two dozen crystalline ponds and two boating and kayaking rivers is an ideal family destination with wide-ranging family-friendly lodging options at every price point.
This guide features information that is based around the following categories: methods of touring; recreational activities; beachgoing; arts, history, and culture; accommodations; and dining options. There are also a few larger features on items made right here on the Mid Cape, local musical talent, the Yarmouth sand sculpture trail, the history of the Father’s Day Car Show.
Whether lodging, dining or a recommended itinerary is needed, a stop at any of the Chamber visitor centers will sort you out. For those seeking to make a move to the Mid Cape, reliable insider information and referrals will ease the transition.

On your way to Yarmouth’s beaches, stop at Great Island Bakery for some of their homemade breads, quiches, or popular elephant ears.

The world may be your oyster, but your oyster should be from Cape Cod. Two Barnstable oyster farms offer some of the best briny and fresh bivalves possible. Barnstable Sea Farms has been producing and harvesting shellfish for nearly 25 years at two sites, one in Barnstable Harbor, and one in Osterville.

A GEARHEAD’S DELIGHT
Father’s Day Car Show Celebrates
25 YEARS
The cars are parked along Main Street so owners can show off their precious automobiles all within a few blocks.
Twenty-Five years ago, the Inaugural Father’s Day Car Show was the brainchild of the then Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce, under the presidency of Frank Catania. The Chamber was seeking ways to increase visitation and commerce within Greater Hyannis by creating an event with wide appeal.
Catania had been a motorcycle aficionado who attended a car show in another community and began to imagine how such an event could work within the Greater Hyannis community. He brought this idea to the Board of Directors, who immediately latched on to the concept and created a committee to begin planning. Local car buff, Hank Farnham was invited along with several other like-minded individuals to spearhead this movement.
And so the first Hyannis Main Street Father’s Car Show took place on Sunday, June 19, 1994 and the Chamber’s marketing message to locals and visitors alike became “bring Dad to the Car Show!”
The number of car exhibitors was nominal as compared to today’s 300 vehicles, but as the years passed, more and more vintage car owners joined the show allowing it to grow to host an estimated 50,000 plus visitors to Hyannis Main Street and the surrounding area each year.
In our 25th year, the car show promises another exhilarating experience! The ability to stroll along Main Street while closed to vehicular traffic, taking in the unique cars on display, enjoying the shops and restaurants that line the way! The Father’s Day Car Show is Cape Cod’s largest non-sporting event that offers something for every member of the family to enjoy.
This year, families are encouraged to make this a weekend long celebration together. Friday evening the festivities kick-off with a 2-mile certified road race around the downtown Hyannis area. Runners will be led and followed by a select group of vintage cars as they run down Main Street, around to South, passing by Hyannis Harbor until they reach Cape Cod Hospital and return to make the loop complete back on Main Street. On Saturday,
enjoy a Music Fest and picnic during the day, headlined that evening with a performance by Ayla Brown and the VIP reception on the Town Green. Sunday, enjoy the main attraction when Main Street closes to traffic and the Father’s Day Car Show begins at 8am, while the Music Fest and picnic continue for all to enjoy on the adjacent Town Green. This year the Father’s Day Car Show really does have something for everyone to enjoy.
Make memories together in Hyannis that you will carry through the years and “bring Dad to the Car Show!”

Looking for good local music? With venues large and small and musicians performing in any genre you can think of, the Mid Cape is where it’s at. We talked to some local performers to learn more about how they got started, what their shows are like, and what they do when they’re offstage.
Dan Blajda POLKA DAN’S BEETBOX BAND
“My father was a violinist, and his ancestors in Poland were violinists, so I grew up with it and just carried on,” says Dan Blajda, leader of Polka Dan’s Beetbox Band. His family roots are in a rural section of Poland, where the main crop is sugar beets (thus the Beetbox Band).
“We’re a lively bunch,” he says. “It’s kind of a modern take on a lot of older polkas. We do a mix of very familiar polkas and traditional village songs. We try to keep the audience engaged and get them dancing. Most people don’t know how to polka anymore, but the crowd has a good time.”
The Beetbox Band has played at Cape Cod Beer in Hyannis, the Hyannis Open Streets festival and Windmill Weekend in Eastham. Blajda, who lives in West Yarmouth, owns Ocean Tailors, which specializes in custom canvas and cushions for marine use.

Rayssa Delorey CLÃ DA BOSSA NOVA
Rayssa Delorey was working as a hostess at the Roadhouse in Hyannis when jazz trumpeter Lou Colombo asked her to sing “The Girl From Ipanema.” It became a weekly thing and then someone asked if she had a band that could perform at a festival.
She said yes but she didn’t. “I knew I had six months to figure it out so that’s when I built my first band,” she says. Eventually that led to the formation of Clã da Bossa Nova, a quintet that plays regularly at the Grand Cru Wine Bar & Grill in Hyannis and the Cotuit Center for the Arts. They also play the Arts Foundation concerts in Aselton Park during the summer.
“We’re a very upbeat band,” says Delorey who lives in West Yarmouth and works for a biotech company. “We play a lot of bossa nova standards and then we bring a little bit of samba into the mix.”
“It’s kind of like a tropical party. We want people to get up and move around and have fun.”

Kate Whouley
CAPE COD CONCERT BAND
Kate Whouley was in junior high when a doctor recommended that she play a wind instrument to help with her asthma. She was interested in the clarinet, but her mother brought home a flute. “At the time I wasn’t happy about it, but it was actually the best decision she ever made,” says Whouley.
A writer and teacher who lives in Centerville, Whouley is a longtime flute player with the Cape Cod Concert Band, which performs free shows at the Saint John Paul II High School auditorium in Hyannis.
“A concert band has about 45 performers, all on woodwind, brass and percussion instruments,” she says. “We have no string section and that differentiates us from an orchestra.”
Band director John Hagen is a huge fan of John Philip Sousa, so shows usually include one piece by him, she says. Other works include classical pieces and Broadway overtures. “It really runs the gamut, depending on the theme of the concert,” she says.

Fred Clayton
BLUES BASSIST
Fred Clayton didn’t have access to a music school where he grew up in Alabama, but he made up for it later. A grant from the National Endowment for the Arts enabled him to take standup bass lessons in New York with jazz legend Bill Lee (father of filmmaker Spike Lee).
Clayton moved to the Cape in the early 2000s and quickly found gigs playing jazz and blues, including covers of songs by B.B. King and Elmore James. “My crowd enjoys songs that go to the roots of music,” he says.
“I’ve always been a go-getter,” says the West Yarmouth resident, who works days as a handyman. “I’m always able to find gigs.”
He plays monthly at the Grand Cru Wine Bar & Grill in Hyannis and regularly at The Loft at the Cove in West Yarmouth. He also hosts a Sunday night blues jam at O’Shea’s Olde Inne in West Dennis. In addition to his solo work, he is part of the Clayton Restaino Project, which also plays throughout the Cape.

SINGER/SONGWRITER
Molly Parmenter
Molly Parmenter was 16 when her father taught her how to play guitar. “I had always loved creative writing, poetry and that kind of thing, so, I combined the two and started writing songs,” she says.
Before long, she performed at an open mic in Hyannis. Her debut was terrifying, but that experience helps her nurture new talent when she hosts open mics every Tuesday at the Duck Inn Pub on Main Street in Hyannis.
Parmenter, a bartender who lives in Marstons Mills, also performs her “singer/ songwriter soul music” as part of a trio at Harvest Gallery Wine Bar in Dennis.
“If my music makes somebody feel better about something they’re going through or feel less alone, that is the ultimate,” she says. “That’s what music was for me when I was growing up.”

Sean Murphy
TRADITIONAL IRISH MUSIC
Since retiring last year as a math teacher, Sean Murphy of Centerville has devoted himself full-time to his passions: teaching Irish history at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod in South Yarmouth, teaching Irish music at the Sons of Erin in West Yarmouth and performing Irish music wherever he can.
Murphy has played the tin whistle and wooden flute for 30 years and has performed at a number of Irish pubs and the Cape Cod Irish Village in South Yarmouth.
He’s also hosted a Sunday evening session at O’Shea’s Olde Inne in West Dennis for 12 years, which can have anywhere from six to 25 singers and musicians participating in “reels, horn pipes, jigs, slides, all the different forms of Irish music,” he says.
“I didn’t learn to play music when I was a child,” he says. “It was later in life that I took to it, because it’s part of my heritage. I love the music and the environment that surrounds it.”

Betsy Doriss
CAPE SYMPHONY
Betsy Doriss switched from the clarinet to the oboe when she was in seventh grade.
“It was love at first sight or at first note,” she says.
She’s been with the Cape Symphony since 1976. “I think there’s something that is unique to this orchestra under the direction of Jung-Ho Pak, in that he’s really tried to bridge the gap between orchestra and audience and make it a much more personal experience,” she says.
You can see her onstage as the symphony’s principal oboist at the Barnstable Performing Arts Center in Hyannis and a lot of other places.
The West Barnstable resident teaches concert and jazz band at the Lighthouse Charter School. Doriss has played the accordion with the All Worn Out Jug Band, sang in a gospel trio called the Pioneer Valley Girls and performed the oboe on new age and folk recordings. “I’m not a one-trick pony,” she says.

WHEN SAND BECOMESArt
What is it like making the sand sculptures throughout Yarmouth? We asked the man who creates them.
BY BILL O’NEILL
Cape Codders are familiar with the Yarmouth Sand Sculpture Trail. But did you know that the artist behind it started his sculpting career with…a snowman?
One of his favorites from last summer was at Cape Cod Creamery. The Route 28 restaurant is known for the Adirondack chairs in front where people linger to enjoy a cone. Fitzpatrick came up with the idea of a sunglasses-wearing ice cream
A small amount of water is added to the sand, which is then compacted in plywood frames to squeeze out air. He compares it to avalanche science.
“If you have a compact layer of snow and then
so you’ll have a collapse more than likely if you don’t get the air out. It’s really important that you do that right the first time. That makes for a nice solid sculpture that withstands the weather. Instead of the sand getting saturated when we get a lot of rain, it rolls off the outside.”
As for sculpting tools, “there is no sand sculpting depot,” he said. “We have to improvise. I like to use a lot of cake frosting tools and masonry tools. There’s a lot of trial and error to find the right kit.
“It’s funny because we have these big tool bags, but there will be two or three favorite tools that we’re always using. The rest are there just in case.”
Cake spatulas are one of his favorite tools, and he always has spares on his hand, so he can give some away to children.
“I’ll stop carving and I’ll just give the kid the tool that I’m carving with. I’ll pull out another one and start working again. You’d be surprised what a little gesture like that means to a child. It’d be great if some day one of these kids said, ‘I remember when this guy gave me a tool, and that’s why I started my own business.’”
When the carving is done, the sculptors seal the sand art with a solution of Elmer’s glue and water, which forms a thin eggshell-like barrier. That protects the outer layer from the wind and
rain. The sculptures require no maintenance and remain intact until autumn.
“I think a big part of the appeal is that these sculptures aren’t meant to last forever,” he said. “If you happen upon one, you can wonder why someone put all these hours of work into it. The answer is to put a smile on someone’s face. If you can slow someone down, just for a few seconds, for them to enjoy that moment, as an artist, I think that’s all you can ask for.”

FUN
While some may choose to relax on their vacation, some want recreational activities that provide a challenge or thrill, from go-karts to water parks.
Cape Cod Inflatable Park
There is something for everyone at this heralded destination. If you are up for a thrill, there are three large inflatable slides called the Sky Slide, The Triple Lindy and the Double Tube! Up for challenges? Try making your way across the Lilypad pool. Goofing off or taking it easy? There is a splash pad area called Shark Island Reef and a lazy river called Whale Watch Canal, where nearby there are two slides and a small pool for younger kids called the Little Lad Lagoon. A whole host of dry rides on the other half of the park provide more fun experiences. Rent a cabana, grab some food, or head into the arcade for a change of scenery. 518 Main Street Route 28, West Yarmouth, 508-771-6060, capecodinflatablepark.com
Ten Pin Eatery and Bowling
A relatively new addition to the Cape Cod Mall, Ten Pin boasts the following: a 45-seat bar, a restaurant, bowling lanes, laser tag, virtual reality, three separate escape rooms and an over 50-game arcade. If you find yourself in downtown Hyannis or South Yarmouth, check out one of the bowling and arcade sites owned by the same group that established Ten Pin: Ryan Family Amusements. 769 Iyannough Road (Route 132), Hyannis, 508-771-2100, tenpineatery.com, 1067 Route 28, South Yarmouth, 508-394-5644, 441 Main Street, Hyannis, 508-775-3411, ryanfamily.com

Cape Codder Water Park
The Cape Codder Resort & Spa’s 30,000 square foot indoor/outdoor water park features two 160-foot “Stars and Stripes” high-speed water slides as well as a 50- and 80-foot water slide winding through a replica of a pirate ship. There is a 300-foot “stormy” river with waterfalls, rapids and a spouting humpback whale. Its splash pad “Pirate Bay” features a kiddie spray pool with dumping bucket, water cannons and small water slides. But the main attraction has been for years the wave pool. Need a break? Hop in the 24-person Jacuzzi. Don’t worry about the weather; there is a 84’ x 143’ retractable roof that lets the sun shine in when it can, and protects you from cold and rain when needed. 1225 Iyannough Road, Hyannis, 855-861-4370, capecodderresort.com

DOGS ALLOWED
Dogs can certainly accompany visitors to the Cape when they are on their family vacations. Navigating any seasonal destination with a canine friend can be challenging however, public lands and businesses here on the Mid Cape can be canine friendly.
DOG PARKS
Dog Parks have been sprouting up from Falmouth to Provincetown. On the Mid Cape is the Yarmouth Dog Park and Barnstable Dog Park, with their three separate yards for large and small dogs and training. Got home late and want to take the dog after sunset? No worries. At the Yarmouth park there are solar-powered lights to extend the visitation hours. Barnstable is open dawn to dusk. Barnstable Dog Park, 1431 Phinney’s Lane, Barnstable; Yarmouth Dog Park, 452 Buck Island Road, Yarmouth;
OCEAN BEACHES
Almost all beaches prohibit dogs in the summertime (in the off-season Sept. 16 to May 14 they are welcome, but need to be leashed). The one exception on the Mid Cape is Sandy Neck, which allows dogs on the off road vehicle section of the beach. You can take the dog with you if you have a yearly ORV sticker, or you can park in the main lot and walk your dog from the gatehouse down the access trail to the ORV beach. Sandy Neck Beach, Sandy Neck Road, West Barnstable
DOG-FRIENDLY RESTAURANTS
Most restaurants with open, outdoor seating in the villages of Barnstable and Yarmouth allow dogs. Health codes strictly prohibit non-service pets inside. This includes restaurants on Hyannis Main Street and Hyannis Harbor, and Route 28. We recommend calling ahead to check on the availability of outdoor seating.

How to See the Sights
There are many ways to get out and about to see all the Mid Cape has to offer. Most people cruise around by car, but there are a whole host of other options.
BASS RIVER KAYAK AND PADDLE BOARDS
The best way to explore Cape Cod’s estuaries, inlets and shorelines is in a kayak or on a paddleboard. This shop has you covered. No reservations necessary. Orientation, life jackets and paddles included with rentals. You can buy kayaks and paddleboards there as well. The Smith family has rented and sold kayaks to locals and vacationers for more than 18 years on Bass River. 118 Main Street, West Dennis, & 40 Main Street, West Dennis, 508-362-5555, capecod kayaking.com
DUCKMOBILES
These completely restored military amphibious vehicles cruise down the main streets of Hyannis, and visitors see where the Kennedy family went to church and where JFK gave his Presidential election acceptance speech. Then you plunge into the water and glimpse a lighthouse, some of beaches around the harbor, and waterfront properties. Trips last about 45 minutes, and be ready to quack. Trips depart from 437 Main Street, Hyannis, 508-790-2111, duckmobile.com

BIKING
Biking is a very popular pastime on the Cape. You can explore off-road trails such as Trail of Tears in the West Barnstable Conservation Area and the Badlands in Yarmouth Port. You can hop on road bikes, hybrids and cruisers and chart a course nearly anywhere on the Cape. The popular Cape Cod Rail Trail, which runs from South Yarmouth to Wellfleet, will soon connect to Barnstable. Bike shops throughout the two towns cater to any cyclist’s needs. Barbara’s Bike Shop, 3454, 430 MA-134, South Dennis, 508-760-4723, barbsbikeshop. com; BikeZone, 323 Barnstable Road, Hyannis, 508-775-3299, 484 Station Avenue, Yarmouth, 508-694-5575; Corner Cycle in the Village, 876 Main Street, Osterville, 774-228-2170, cornercycle.com; Sea Sports Cyclery and Outdoor, 1441 Iyannough Road, Hyannis, 508-790-1217 capecodseasports.com

Guests regularly depart the Mid Cape in Hyannis, travel through West Barnstable and Sandwich and down to the Cape Cod Canal, glimpsing sand dunes and salt marshes, and other features of the landscape that are only accessible by rail. Cape Rail currently has six engines in total, which are painted a Cape Cod cranberry color with yellow highlights. 252 Main Street, Hyannis, 888-797-7245, capetrain.com

HARBOR CRUISES
You can do a Lighthouse Harbor Tour with Bay Spirit Tours where you will pass a replica of Brant Point Light in Hyannis inner harbor, then continue to Point Gammon Light on Great Island, (weather dependent). From there you can view the navigational tower at Bishops & Clerks on the way to Hyannisport to see the Kennedy Compound, pass Hyannis Harbor Light and then back to Hyannis inner harbor. There are also sunset and music cruises and rides on their new sailing vessel, the Bay Breeze, a 45’ Lock Crowley designed catamaran. On the northside, Barnstable Harbor Ecotours naturalists will help you discover all the wonders of the many sandbars of Barnstable Harbor. Care to jet around the harbor in a touring speed boat? Try Cape Cod Rib Tours. Barnstable Harbor Ecotours, 243 Millway, Barnstable, 508-221-6126, barnstableecotours.com; Bay Spirit Tours, 180 Ocean Street, Hyannis, 508-771-0107, bayspirittours.com, Cape Cod Rib Tours, 508-790-0662, caperib.com
WHALE WATCHING AND SHARK EXCURSIONS
The largest animals on earth roam the waters off Cape Cod regularly, and they are a sight to behold. Each one—from the common Humpbacks to the rarer, endangered Right Whales—has unique markings and entertaining antics. Come watch them in their natural habitat aboard the Whale Watcher, a 130-foot-long by 28 foot-wide vessel powered by five water jets (no propellers). If you want to leave from Hyannis, Cape Rib Tours offer a whale watch on a high-speed boat. For an up-close and personal view of a variety of local sharks, try cage diving. Bounty Hunters’ vessel Fins has been outfitted to run at speed with a super strong, custom-built cage, which holds two people at a time. You will be safe among the sharks, which will come right up to the cage to investigate.

HYANNIS HARBOR
BIPLANES
If you want to experience the Cape from the sky, the place on the Mid Cape to do so is on a biplane from the Cape Cod Airfield. You can see all of the region from a Waco YMF-5 Biplane, a replica of a late 1930’s design that was built in 1988. One or two passengers ride in the front cockpit to see stunning views of the beaches, bridges, and canal. Rides are 15, 25, and 35 minutes long. They offer sunset rides each evening as well. 1000 Race Lane, Marstons Mills, 508-428-8732, capecodairfield.com
HIKING
While Sandy Neck is known for its beach goers, there is also an extensive network of great trails behind the dunes. Likewise, Grey’s Beach has the Calley-Darling Conservation Trails nearby. You can also do the trails-to-beach experience in Audubon’s Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary. If you needn’t have a beach as part of your experience, trails in the Bridge Creek Conservation Area wind around old stone walls, abandoned fields and cranberry bogs. Old Jail Lane Conservation Area trails meander through wooded areas from Cape Cod Community College all the way to Phinney’s Lane. Such hikes in Yarmouth include those in Sandy Pond Recreation Park and Raymond J. Syrjala Conservation Area.

The museum underwent a major renovation of its historic building and added a new addition while operating offsite at a temporary location. The Museum reopened in May 2016, with an additional 3,600 square feet of new space, doubling its exhibition space and giving enhanced access to the Museum’s collections. cahoonmuseum.org
