There you can take one of two ferries to the Island.
  2. Should you choose to bring your vehicle with you to the island, you can drive to Hyannis, MA and take the Steamship Authority car ferry to the island.

For Fun

As a team member, during your time off you can enjoy relaxing at the beach, kayaking in the harbor, learning to surf or golf, hiking through the cranberry bogs, shopping the boutiques in town, and enjoying the Island's excellent culinary scene. Something for everyone to enjoy!
