HYANNIS - Cape Cod, Massachusetts
 
This is the main commercial city on the Cape, with access to both Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket by ferry and by air.  Made famous by the Kennedy family.  If you do not want to drive to the Cape you can reach Hyannis by bus from Boston and then use local buses around the Cape.  The historic part of Hyannis around the port is interesting with museums, shops and restaurants but it is surrounded by commercial sprawl.
