Travel & Accomodations

Getting Here

By Car
Cotuit is located on Cape Cod, about a 4.5–5 hour drive from NYC and roughly 5–6 hours from Upstate NY, depending on traffic (and Cape traffic can be rough, especially on summer weekends, so we recommend avoiding Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon departures if you can!).

By Train
If you're coming from NYC, we suggest taking the Amtrak to Providence and renting a car from there — it's about an hour's drive to Cotuit and often faster (and less stressful) than driving the whole way or flying.

By Flight
For those flying in from San Francisco, Los Angeles, or elsewhere, you have a couple of good options:

  • Fly into Hyannis Airport (HYA) — the closest option, just a 25-minute drive to Cotuit. It is a tiny airport with limited flights so book early!
  • Fly into Boston Logan (BOS) and rent a car for the roughly 1.5-hour drive down to the Cape.
  • Fly into Boston Logan (BOS) and take the Plymouth & Brockton bus to Sagamore or Barnstable, a great option if you have friends or family nearby who can pick you up, so you can skip the rental car.

Where to Stay

We've secured a room block at the Craigville Beach Inn in Centerville, about a 15–20 minute drive from Cotuit. Don't worry about the distance, we'll have shuttles to take you to and from the wedding.

Activities

While you're on the Cape, take some time to soak it all in! Here are a few local favorites to fill your weekend:

Beaches
The Craigville Beach Inn offers a free shuttle to the beach, so you can leave the car behind and just enjoy the sand and surf. Riley's Beach is also right near the venue and worth a visit.
