Welcome to Falmouth! Here are a few suggestions for things to do this week; we hope you enjoy your stay in beautiful Falmouth! Here is what weather to expect for the first few days or your vacation:
Here are some general things you can do this week, and below are more specific items for specific days of the week:
Take in a Cape Cod Baseball League Game. Falmouth is home to the Commodores, who play behind Gus Canty Rec Center (2 doors down from the Donahue Real Estate office). Here are their upcoming home games and the starting times:
Friday July 31 7:00 hosting Bourne
Tuesday August 4 7:00 hosting Wareham
There are also many, many other games in other towns, please let us know if you would like info on other games. More info is available at www.capecodbaseball.org/
Bike the Shining Sea Bike Path. This past spring, Falmouth opened another 7 miles of the Shining Sea Bike Path, it is now 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! www.capecodbikeguide.com/shiningsea.asp. Another great bike path is right along the Cape Cod Canal.
See 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 www.aquarium.nefsc.noaa.gov
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. 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). Beach pass info: www.falmouthhomes.com/images/beachstickerinfo.pdf
Many people also ask about the world famous Cape Cod National Seashore, at the other end of the Cape. It’s a nice day trip, but a long day. We suggest combining it with some time in Provincetown, a wonderful, quirky, world famous town at the tip of Cape Cod.
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 www.theliberte.com.
Another great boating opportunity is to take a boat tour of the Cape Cod Canal – the world’s widest sea level (without locks) canal! Take the 4pm (Monday to Saturday) cruise and kids ride free! Adults are $14. For more information or other sailings call 508 295 3883 or goto www.hylinecruises.com
Main St. Falmouth’s Main Street is amazing. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, parks, more. Enjoy a lazy afternoon taking it all in.
Cape Cod Winery. 681 Sandwich Road in East Falmouth. Wine tastings from 11-4 Thursdays to Sundays. http://www.capecodwinery.com or call 508 457 5592.
Plimouth Plantation. A short (30 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. 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. www.capecodchildrensmuseum.org
Movie Theaters. At Mashpee Commons (plays current hits), also the Nickelodeon, which plays more artsy fare. 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
Culture. Falmouth has a thriving live theater community, well worth attending if you want a change of pace from the beach and restaurants. Here are details on some of this weeks shows:
College Light Opera performs a new show every week at the beautiful Highfield Theatre.
This week, Tuesday August 4 to Saturday August 8, shows at 8PM (also 2PM on Thursday). This week’s show is “The Most Happy Fella”, a sunny, romantic musical set in Napa Valley, California, about middle-aged vineyard owner Tony who has sent his future mail-order-bride a picture of his handsome foreman in place of his own.. Reservations: 508 548 0668, or www.collegelightopera.com for more info.
Cape Cod Theatre Project is a wonderful organization that puts on amazing shows, more than half the shows produced end up moving on to New York City! Every night of the 3 night run the show is tweeked based on both audience and professional feedback. Shows are at Falmouth Academy, 7 Highfield Drive.
This week: Thursday July 30 to Saturday August 1, 8PM: “Indio”, The riotous and insightful coming of age story of a Bangladeshi-American in Spanish Harlem. www.capecodtheatreproject.org or (508) 457-4242

Things to do in Falmouth the week of July 10 to 18
Welcome to Falmouth! Here are a few suggestions for things to do this week; we hope you enjoy your stay in beautiful Falmouth!
Here are some general things you can do this week, and below are more specific items for specific days of the week:
Take in a Cape Cod Baseball League Game. Falmouth is home to the Commodores, who play behind Gus Canty Rec Center (2 doors down from the Donahue Real Estate office). Here are their upcoming home games and the starting times:
Sunday July 12 5:30 playing Orleans
Tuesday July 14 7:00 playing Bourne
There are also many, many other games in other towns, please let us know if you would like info on other games. More info is available at www.capecodbaseball.org
Bike the Shining Sea Bike Path. This past spring, Falmouth opened another 7 miles of the Shining Sea Bike Path, it is now 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!
See 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 www.aquarium.nefsc.noaa.gov
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 sticker info, 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 www.theliberte.com
Main St. Falmouth’s Main Street is amazing. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, parks, more. Enjoy a lazy afternoon taking it all in.
Cape Cod Winery. 681 Sandwich Road in East Falmouth. Wine tastings from 11-4 Thursdays to Sundays. www.capecodwinery.com or call 508 457 5592.
Plimouth Plantation. A short (30 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. 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. www.capecodchildrensmuseum.org/
Movie Theaters. At Mashpee Commons (plays current hits), also the Nickelodeon, which plays more artsy fare. 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

Enjoy a great dinner, or just stop in for some drinks. Cheryl, the owner, is usually the on the piano! Call 508 563 3034 for more info or to make a reservation.
