Kalmus beach is at the Hyannis side of the entrance to Hyannis Harbor. From here you can watch ferries and tour boats, fishermen and yachts pass in and out of the channel. On the ocean side, if there is wind, you will see windsurfers skimming over the waves. Beach is usually packed in summer, so come early to get a... More

Walked from Hyannis harbour along to Kalmus beach on a very wild and windy day. Out of season so very quiet. Beach is spectacular and must be even better in season in the sunshine. More

Our hotel was in Hyannis, so my family and I were looking for a nearby beach. Plenty of parking in the official Kalmus lot ($10), and attendance was sparse on the two days (8/11 & 8/14/09) we were there. Beach is clean, lifeguards attentive and the swimming area well-marked. BRING WATER SHOES! At every point on this beach as you... More

Like JFK Memorial beach better because it was prettier. This beach has a lot of boats around so be careful how far you go in the water. Can be found... More

I loved this beach. There wasn't any overcrowding to tend with and it was very relaxing. I was so comfortable that I even got to wear my speedo. More
