Falmouth

          With numerous harbors and beaches, Falmouth boasts more coastline than any town on the Cape. It is comprised of the residential villages of North, East, and West Falmouth and Sippewisset, the campus-like research and tourist center of Woods Hole, the upscale and trendy downtown Falmouth and Falmouth Heights, and the historic Danville. Between its wooded neighborhoods, quiet side streets, and miles of beaches, Falmouth is a prime location for rest and relaxation. In contrast to its residential villages, Falmouth’s Woods Hole, Falmouth Village (downtown and Main Street), and Falmouth Heights offer the visitor bustling streets and a great variety of shops and restaurants.

          Main attractions in Falmouth include the Shining Sea bike trail, a scenic biking and walking trail offering views of Vineyard Sound, and Old Silver Beach, one of the Cape’s finest and most popular beaches. Surf Drive is a long road along the southern coast of Falmouth with outstanding scenery. Also the site of the famous annual Falmouth Road Race, picturesque Surf Drive bypasses several Cape beaches on Vineyard Sound.
