As much a park as it is a beach, Veteran’s Beach is great for kids, with its playground, picnic tables, shady groves of trees, and shallow water lapping a sandy beach. Lots of boats from the Hyannis Yacht Club keep things interesting next door. Facilities include restrooms, showers, snack bar, and in-season lifeguard.

Other Hyannis beaches, just so you know =>

Kalmus Park Beach, on Nantucket Sound, at the end of Ocean Street. This beach is good for sailboarding. The land, by the way, was donated by Technicolor inventor Herbert Kalmus, who also owned the Fernbrook estate in Centerville. Facilities; parking fee.

Sea Street Beach, on Nantucket Sound, off Sea Street. Facilities; parking fee.
