Planning a Trip

Getting There -- After crossing either the Bourne or Sagamore bridge, head east on Route 6 or 6A. The section of Route 6A north of Route 6's Exit 7 passes through the village of Yarmouth Port. The villages of West Yarmouth, Bass River, and South Yarmouth are located along Route 28, east of Hyannis; to reach them from Route 6, take Exit 7 south (Yarmouth Rd.) or Exit 8 south (Station St.); or fly into Hyannis.

If you need to get around the area without a car, the Yarmouth Easy Shuttle circles Route 28 from Hyannis's bus terminal; for details, contact the Yarmouth Area Chamber of Commerce .

Getting Around -- The H2O Line (Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, tel. 800/352-7155) runs from Hyannis to Orleans, making stops in Yarmouth on six round-trips daily. Trips from Dennisport to Hyannis cost $2.50. The Yarmouth Shuttle, also called The Breeze (www.thebreeze.info) and also run by the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, travels down Route 28 (from Hyannis to the Bass River) and down Old Main Road in South Yarmouth, and makes stops at Seagull and Bass River beaches. Flag it down anywhere along the route. Fares start at $1 and increase depending on the length of your ride.

Visitor Information -- Contact the Yarmouth Area Chamber of Commerce, 657 Rte. 28, West Yarmouth, MA 02673 (tel. 800/732-1008 or 508/778-1008; fax 508/778-5114; www.yarmouthcapecod.com); or the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce.
