More About Falmouth
Falmouth’s eight unique villages each offer something special—from historic neighborhoods and quiet ponds to boat-friendly harbors and miles of warm-water beaches along Vineyard Sound. Boating and sailing are popular throughout town, with charters and ferries departing from Falmouth Harbor, and calm marshes and rivers perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding. Families love classic spots like Old Silver Beach, known for its soft sand, gentle tides, and wide sandbars at low tide, while the scenic Shining Sea Bikeway connects Falmouth to Woods Hole with ocean views and peaceful wooded stretches.
For those planning a stay, Falmouth offers a wide range of vacation homes—from family-friendly cottages near the beach to luxurious waterfront rentals, beachfront rentals, and homes with pools. The town’s walkable village centers, museums, beaches, and iconic events like the Falmouth Road Race make it a favorite Cape Cod destination for both relaxation and outdoor adventure.
