  • An unusual memorial overlooking the bay where JFK used to sail his boat Victura. The boat is now on display at the JFK Presidential Library in Boston.

  • A fitting tribute and park to a great American President. A very nice park and monuments. The geese are annoying to visitors.

  • I don’t like giving this four stars, as I was very moved when I got there/walked around. The only reason I am is because there’s just really nothing to do. There’s a cute lil’ old man selling hats 🧢 for $20 bucks inside a tiny booth; but other than that and the scenic water view, there just isn’t much. I’d say 20 minutes here would be stretching it before you get the itch to go on and leave. It’s so sad, because I know Dallas has some amazing places to honor JFK. I was hoping Hyannis would compare. Oh well— as you can see, we had one of the most beautiful days EVER to go, and the skies were like something out of a painting. The picture I took of those homes are right on Ocean St. pulling out of the memorial— I thought they were pretty picturesque!! Just give it a stop, selfie, and go if you get a chance! ♥️
  • Just remember, it is a memorial and not a museum. For what it was, it was perfect. Your best bet is to park at the beach and enjoy the memorial for the 15 minutes it takes to see everything and then enjoy the scenery on the shore.
