Things to do in Falmouth the week of August 16-24
Welcome to Falmouth! Below are suggestions for you, our
visitor. This list is compiled by people who live and vacation here
in Falmouth - lots of things you might not otherwise know about.
We hope you consider it helpful, and we hope you enjoy your stay in
beautiful Falmouth. Should you require any additional advice or
suggestions, please give our office a call at 508 548 5412, we are
happy to help in any way possible!
Bike the Shining Sea Bike Path.
It is 11 miles long, and goes from North Falmouth to Woods
Hole. Along the way you will see marshes, dunes, bogs, both Buzzards
Bay and Vineyard Sound, beaches, ice cream shops, much more. It
truly is one of Falmouth’s gems. There are multiple places to rent
bikes if you didn’t bring them – or, just go for a stroll. For more info click here. Forgot your bike? Click here or go to www.poppinwheelies.net for a local company that will deliver rental bikes right to your door.
Stand Up Paddleboarding.
Its the newest sensation on the water, so easy and fun. Peace Love SUP
will deliver all necessary equipment right to your door, or sign up for a
lesson or tour - sunrise, sunset, any time! www.peacelovesup.com
Take in all that Woods Hole has to offer.
The world famous village of Woods Hole is a true delight. Lots to
see and do. The aquarium is great fun during the week (not open
on weekends) for the kids. Aquarium info available at http://www.aquarium.nefsc.noaa.gov/
While in Woods Hole,
check out OceanQuest, a 90 minute Hands-On Discovery Cruise in and
around the waters of Woods Hole. Perfect for everyone, especially
kids. An OceanQuest day is often one of the most memorable days of a
Cape Cod vacation. For info/pricing etc visit http://www.oceanquest.org/
Grab a ferry to Martha’s Vineyard.
Falmouth has three ferries to Martha’s Vineyard, two of which
leave right from convenient Falmouth Harbor. No need for a car on
the island, but like Falmouth, MV has great bike paths. Check out
Oak Bluffs, Vineyard Haven and Edgartown, or any of the smaller
villages or beaches! Martha’s Vineyard is a must day trip for
everyone who has never been. Ferry info, including schedules and
rates, is available at www.falmouthhomes.com/falmouth.asp
Nantucket.
The ferry to Nantucket leaves from Hyannis, which is about 40
minutes away. If you only have one day to explore an island, stick
with MV. But if you have extra time, Nantucket is such a great
island, and such a great village. Again, no need for a car.
Beach! Falmouth
has 68 miles of coastline, and much of it is town owned beaches.
Any day there is good weather, try one of our wonderful beaches!
If you are walking or biking, put away your wallet, there is no
fee. But if you drive, you will need to pay to park. Most lots are
$10 each, several are $20 (Old Silver for example). For a list of
what beaches have what amenities, click here
Boats! Falmouth
has many opportunities to go boating, from renting jet-skis, to
private fishing and cruising charters, to being pampered on a
luxury, restored sailboat like the Liberte, which has daily
sailings where you pay per person. They also have Sunday Champagne
sailings. Liberte info available at http://www.theliberte.com/
Or if you want to take a fishing charter, very popular, click here and stick with the recommendations in Falmouth.
Main St.
Falmouth’s Main Street is amazing. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars,
parks, more. Enjoy a lazy afternoon taking it all in. Don't forget to
stop at the Chamber of Commerce right off Main St for more great info on the area.
Plimouth Plantation.
A short (35 minutes with no traffic) drive away is Plimouth
Plantation in Plymouth Mass. If you are from New England there is a
good chance you have been there (school field trip maybe?) but if
you are not from the area, it is worth a day trip to see the 17th
Century English Village, where all the staff stays in character
the entire time. See more at http://www.plimoth.org/
Cape Cod Children’s Museum in Mashpee is a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon, if we get one. It is ideal for kids 3-10 or so. http://www.capecodchildrensmuseum.org/
Movie Theaters. At
Mashpee Commons (plays current hits). But don’t forget the Falmouth Cinema Pub,
where you can get a good meal, some wine and beer etc while
watching current hit movies! Cinema pub info available at www.falmouthcinemas.com/
==================================

families, tons of children will be there. Feel free to bring a bottle of
wine with you as that is perfectly acceptable. Click here for some more info.

Things to do in Falmouth the week of July 26 to August 3
Welcome to Falmouth! Below are suggestions for you, our visitor. This list is compiled by people who live and vacation here in Falmouth - lots of things you might not otherwise know about. We hope you consider it helpful, and we hope you enjoy your stay in beautiful Falmouth. Should you require any additional advice or suggestions, please give our office a call at 508 548 5412, we are happy to help in any way possible!
Bike the Shining Sea Bike Path. It is 11 miles long, and goes from North Falmouth to Woods Hole. Along the way you will see marshes, dunes, bogs, both Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound, beaches, ice cream shops, much more. It truly is one of Falmouth’s gems. There are multiple places to rent bikes if you didn’t bring them – or, just go for a stroll. For more info click here.
Stand Up Paddleboarding. Its the newest sensation on the water, so easy and fun. Peace Love SUP will deliver all necessary equipment right to your door, or sign up for a lesson or tour - sunrise, sunset, any time! www.peacelovesup.com
Take in all that Woods Hole has to offer. The world famous village of Woods Hole is a true delight. Lots to see and do. The aquarium is great fun during the week (not open on weekends) for the kids. Aquarium info available at http://www.aquarium.nefsc.noaa.gov/
While in Woods Hole, check out OceanQuest, a 90 minute Hands-On Discovery Cruise in and around the waters of Woods Hole. Perfect for everyone, especially kids. An OceanQuest day is often one of the most memorable days of a Cape Cod vacation. For info/pricing etc visit http://www.oceanquest.org/
Grab a ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. Falmouth has three ferries to Martha’s Vineyard, two of which leave right from convenient Falmouth Harbor. No need for a car on the island, but like Falmouth, MV has great bike paths. Check out Oak Bluffs, Vineyard Haven and Edgartown, or any of the smaller villages or beaches! Martha’s Vineyard is a must day trip for everyone who has never been. Ferry info, including schedules and rates, is available at www.falmouthhomes.com/falmouth.asp
Nantucket. The ferry to Nantucket leaves from Hyannis, which is about 40 minutes away. If you only have one day to explore an island, stick with MV. But if you have extra time, Nantucket is such a great island, and such a great village. Again, no need for a car.
Beach! Falmouth has 68 miles of coastline, and much of it is town owned beaches. Any day there is good weather, try one of our wonderful beaches! If you are walking or biking, put away your wallet, there is no fee. But if you drive, you will need to pay to park. Most lots are $10 each, several are $20 (Old Silver for example). For a list of what beaches have what amenities, click here
Boats! Falmouth has many opportunities to go boating, from renting jet-skis, to private fishing and cruising charters, to being pampered on a luxury, restored sailboat like the Liberte, which has daily sailings where you pay per person. They also have Sunday Champagne sailings. Liberte info available at http://www.theliberte.com/
Or if you want to take a fishing charter, very popular, click here and stick with the recommendations in Falmouth.
Main St. Falmouth’s Main Street is amazing. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, parks, more. Enjoy a lazy afternoon taking it all in. Don't forget to stop at the Chamber of Commerce right off Main St for more great info on the area.
Plimouth Plantation. A short (35 minutes with no traffic) drive away is Plimouth Plantation in Plymouth Mass. If you are from New England there is a good chance you have been there (school field trip maybe?) but if you are not from the area, it is worth a day trip to see the 17th Century English Village, where all the staff stays in character the entire time. See more at http://www.plimoth.org/
Cape Cod Children’s Museum in Mashpee is a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon, if we get one. It is ideal for kids 3-10 or so. http://www.capecodchildrensmuseum.org/
Movie Theaters. At Mashpee Commons (plays current hits). But don’t forget the Falmouth Cinema Pub, where you can get a good meal, some wine and beer etc while watching current hit movies! Cinema pub info available at www.falmouthcinemas.com/

Falmouth has many opportunities to go boating, from renting jet-skis, to private fishing and cruising charters, to being pampered on a luxury, restored sailboat like the Liberte, which has daily sailings where you pay per person. They also have Sunday Champagne sailings. Liberte info available at http://www.theliberte.com/
Or if you want to take a fishing charter, very popular, click here and stick with the recommendations in Falmouth.
Main St. Falmouth’s Main Street is amazing. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, parks, more. Enjoy a lazy afternoon taking it all in. Don't forget to stop at the Chamber of Commerce right off Main St for more great info on the area.
Plimouth Plantation. A short (35 minutes with no traffic) drive away is Plimouth Plantation in Plymouth Mass. If you are from New England there is a good chance you have been there (school field trip maybe?) but if you are not from the area, it is worth a day trip to see the 17th Century English Village, where all the staff stays in character the entire time. See more at http://www.plimoth.org/
Cape Cod Children’s Museum in Mashpee is a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon, if we get one. It is ideal for kids 3-10 or so. http://www.capecodchildrensmuseum.org/
Movie Theaters. At Mashpee Commons (plays current hits). But don’t forget the Falmouth Cinema Pub, where you can get a good meal, some wine and beer etc while watching current hit movies! Cinema pub info available at www.falmouthcinemas.com/

Feel free to bring a bottle of wine with you as that is perfectly acceptable. Click here for some more info.

Welcome to Falmouth! Below are suggestions for you, our visitor. This list is compiled by people who live and vacation here in Falmouth - lots of things you might not otherwise know about. We hope you consider it helpful, and we hope you enjoy your stay in beautiful Falmouth. Should you require any additional advice or suggestions, please give our office a call at 508 548 5412, we are happy to help in any way possible!
Bike the Shining Sea Bike Path. It is 11 miles long, and goes from North Falmouth to Woods Hole. Along the way you will see marshes, dunes, bogs, both Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound, beaches, ice cream shops, much more. It truly is one of Falmouth’s gems. There are multiple places to rent bikes if you didn’t bring them – or, just go for a stroll
Stand Up Paddleboarding. Its the newest sensation on the water, so easy and fun. Peace Love SUP will deliver all necessary equipment right to your door, or sign up for a lesson or tour - sunrise, sunset, any time! www.peacelovesup.com
Take in all that Woods Hole has to offer. The world famous village of Woods Hole is a true delight. Lots to see and do. The aquarium is great fun during the week (not open on weekends) for the kids. Aquarium info available at http://www.aquarium.nefsc.noaa.gov/
While in Woods Hole, check out OceanQuest, a 90 minute Hands-On Discovery Cruise in and around the waters of Woods Hole. Perfect for everyone, especially kids. An OceanQuest day is often one of the most memorable days of a Cape Cod vacation. For info/pricing etc visit http://www.oceanquest.org/
Grab a ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. Falmouth has three ferries to Martha’s Vineyard, two of which leave right from convenient Falmouth Harbor. No need for a car on the island, but like Falmouth, MV has great bike paths. Check out Oak Bluffs, Vineyard Haven and Edgartown, or any of the smaller villages or beaches! Martha’s Vineyard is a must day trip for everyone who has never been. Ferry info, including schedules and rates, is available at www.falmouthhomes.com/falmouth.asp
Nantucket. The ferry to Nantucket leaves from Hyannis, which is about 40 minutes away. If you only have one day to explore an island, stick with MV. But if you have extra time, Nantucket is such a great island, and such a great village. Again, no need for a car.
Beach! Falmouth has 68 miles of coastline, and much of it is town owned beaches. Any day there is good weather, try one of our wonderful beaches! If you are walking or biking, put away your wallet, there is no fee. But if you drive, you will need to pay to park. Most lots are $10 each, several are $20 (Old Silver for example).
