Itching to plan a day trip? The CapeFLYER train is offering $10 round-trip tickets throughout the month of June, with service on Friday evenings, Saturdays + Sundays.
Hop on at South Station — no reservations required — and spend a summer day around one of these four Cape Cod stops.
Wareham Village
Referred to as “The Gateway to Cape Cod,” the first train stop brings you to the town of Wareham — fuel up for the day with a coffee from The Blue Foot Cafe , a quick walk from the station. Nearby beaches like Onset Beach are accessible by the Link1 bus if the weather calls for a dip in the water.
Buzzards Bay
Get off the train at Buzzards Bay (part of the town of Bourne) for easy access to the Cape Cod Canal Bikeway , a pair of paths that run ~seven miles on either side of the canal. Pro tip: You can rent a bike for $13 per hour from Buzzards Bay Bikes.
The Lobster Trap in Bourne serves a raw bar menu + surf and turf burger.

Bourne
Spend time at the train’s third stop exploring the Museums at Aptucxet or The National Marine Center’s Discovery Center , and be sure to grab a classic lobstah roll from The Lobster Trap . Plus, sports fans can plan ahead to see a Bourne Braves baseball game at Doran Field.
Hyannis
The last stop on the route is perfect for an afternoon of shopping along Hyannis’ Main Street , including local businesses like 606 Thrift Ave + Seaporium . You can also pay a visit to the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum to learn about the Kennedy family’s history on Cape Cod (the perfect supplement to checking out Boston’s JFK Library ).
Bonus: If June is looking too busy for a Cape visit, don’t fret — the CapeFLYER service runs through Labor Day.
