St. Francis Xavier Church

Summer church of the Kennedy's

Reviewed By 337jeanniec - York, United States

Just beautiful ! Well worth seeing. Can just imagine the Kennedy's going to church there, very emotional and touching. The doors were open, so we could go in and sit and truly enjoy the majesty; beautiful sanctuary with stained glass windows, and be in peace & solitude. We were there on a Saturday afternoon, in September.

Went here on a trip to Hyannis. Great place to get some beer or enjoy there. There is a gift store and then the tasting room. Quite large with everything on tap. Beer is good and staff is friendly. I will return.

Beech Tree

Reviewed By Khi_p - Westford, United States

We ate at the restaurant where this tree is located. It is called Anejo, I believe. It was a good mexican restaurant and it was lovely eating under the canopy of the tree. They have really made the tree part of the ambience and it works well. The tree is large and has light strung underneath it. It is well maintained and worth a look. So beautiful!

Reviewed By cdkassotis - Detroit, United States

We came here while vacationing in the area and were quite happy with the choice! We brought our dogs, who were quickly welcomed, very friendly staff, and got to enjoy a fun selection of beers - including the first Milkshake IPA I've ever had in my life. Definitely a fun and unique type of beer! Would definitely come back.
