It’s sometimes known as the “Capital of the Cape,” with the region’s major hospital, shopping districts (Main Street and Route 132), and the ferry terminals to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. Demographics of our city/village - Year-round population is roughly 12,000?–?14,000 residents; median age around 45. Summer population is 2-3 times as many. - Racial makeup: approximately 75% White, 10% Black or African American, 8% Hispanic or Latino, with growing diversity. - Across Barnstable County, people over 45 represent 60%+, and White non-Hispanic residents make up over 85%. - Economy is mostly seasonal, income-to-housing affordability remains a concern, and the population is aging. Unique Opportunities: Why Cape Cod Stands Out - Research & Recreation Blend: A thriving coastal ecosystem makes Cape Cod an ideal place for ecological, marine, and environmental research, especially around the Cape Cod National Seashore. Whale watching excursions at Stellwagen Bank offer collaboration with marine biologists. Bike paths abound and year-round hiking is here. - Cultural & Historical Heritage: The Kennedy legacy remains prominent, as does Cape Cod’s history as the first landing place of the Pilgrims. The oldest town on Cape Cod, Sandwich, dates back to 1632. Very good July 4th fireworks shows happen in several places. - Arts & Performance Scene: Experience live performances at the famous Cape Cod Melody Tent, one of the only two continuously operated tent theaters in the U.S. The Cape Symphony performs classical and pop concerts, enhancing the local arts fabric. The Cape Cinema in Dennis features indie films, live music, and opera simulcasts. - Strong Local Hub: Hyannis offers a vibrant center for business and logistics, including Cape Cod Potato Chips’ headquarters and the year-round Cape Cod Mall. Beaches and shopping are everywhere. - Strengthening Churches: There is a spiritual resurgence happening on the Cape. Churches are coming together for prayer events, and the church softball league has been going for nearly 50 years. New churches are being planted, and people are coming into the Kingdom at a faster pace than previously known. Historic church territorialism is fading. Ethnic churches abound. Fun Things to Do: Activities for Locals and Visitors In Hyannis & Mid-Cape: - Hyannis Harbor (Lewis Bay) and waterfront strolls along the Walkway to the Sea or in Veterans Memorial Park. - Visit the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, explore the Cape Cod Maritime Museum, play and ice skate at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center, hop aboard the Cape Cod Central Railroad, or take the T to Boston. - Main Street Hyannis offers boutique shopping, galleries, and plenty of restaurants. - Kalmus Beach is a local favorite for sunbathing, sailing, and kiteboarding. Craigville Beach is another hotspot. Across Cape Cod: - Upper Cape: Biking the Cape Cod Canal, visiting Nobska Lighthouse, shopping, and enjoying local antique stores. - Mid Cape: Cultural offerings include art galleries, theaters, shopping, and family-friendly beaches everywhere. - Lower Cape: Whale watching, Provincetown, the Cape Cod National Seashore, and exploring art galleries. - Cape-Wide: Bike trails, lighthouses, beaches, hiking trails, enjoying fresh local seafood, and boardwalks. Massachusetts/Rhode Island: - Boston: The United States’ most historic city shines in a mix of old and new with the Freedom Trail walking tour, Fanueil Hall shopping area, Boston Common and Public Gardens, the Italian North End, New England Aquarium, some of the best colleges and hospitals in the USA, and famous sports venues like Fenway Park. As little as 90 minutes away. - Newport: The famous Cliff Walk, the mansions and museums, and the Tennis Hall of Fame. - Visit Sturbridge Village or Plimoth/Patuxet Museum for daily re-enactments of original settler villages. - Plymouth: Visit Plimoth Rock or the Mayflower ship replica in Plymouth Harbor and enjoy Plymouth’s shopping & restaurants. - Springfield: Visit the National Basketball Hall of Fame in basketball’s actual birthplace.
