John F. Kennedy, Hyannis Port, Mass.

"I always go to Hyannis Port to be revived," said John F. Kennedy, who often retreated to this former Cape Cod fishing village turned resort for the rich and famous. Kennedy came to the expansive family compound, located on six acres fronting Nantucket Sound, for sailing, sunning and R&R. Though the compound is off-limits, visitors can hit the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, go cruising or day-trip to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket Island.
