Connecting Cape Cod to Buzzards Bay, the Cape Cod Canal was created as an artificial waterway in 1914. Today it is maintained by the United States Army Corps of Engineers and is utilized for both recreational and commercial boating. The scenic walkways on both sides of the canal are great for walking, jogging, or biking. Hiking the nearby trails, fishing, and picnicking are other activity options for along the water. It’s also a great place to relax and simply watch the boats pass by.
 
The canal is also home to two notable bridges, including the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge — one of the longest vertical spans in the world. In total the canal runs more than 17 miles long. Those interested in the history and technology of the canal and its operation should be sure to check out the Cape Cod Canal Visitors Center.

Devoted to the legendary President who passed many of his holidays at his vacation home on Cape Cod, the John F Kennedy Hyannis Museum now ranks among the region’s top attractions, offering a fascinating insight into America’s 35th president. Housed in the early 20th-century town hall and fronted by a sculpture of Kennedy by David Lewis, the museum features a series of multimedia exhibitions focusing on the President, his family and friends, and the time they spent on Cape Cod.

As well as the opportunity to peek into the Kennedy family’s home, there’s a sizable collection of videos, photographs and personal effects, dating back between 1934 and 1963 and including oral histories from friends and family, a Kennedy Family Tree and details of his final visit to Cape Cod, just months before his assassination. Somewhat incongruously, the museum basement houses a Hall of Fame for the Cape Cod Baseball League.
