Eugenia Fortes Beach

Iyanough and Wachusett Ave, Hyannis, MA 02601
Boats sit offshore at Eugenia Fortes Beach in Barnstable, Cape Cod.

Located just down the road from the Kennedy Compound, Eugenia Fortes Beach is a small, quiet resident-only beach with great views of boats moored in the harbor. The sand is a bit more coarse and hard packed than other beaches, and there’s limited space in the small parking lot, but if you’re looking to avoid the crowds of some of the larger beaches, Eugenia Fortes Beach is a nice option.


Parking: 20+ spaces

  • Resident parking only ($50/season)
