Falmouth

Falmouth offers several beautiful beaches. Old Silver Beach is a popular choice, known for its calm waters and soft sand. Menauhant Beach is another great option, offering stunning views and a more secluded atmosphere. For those seeking a family-friendly beach, Surf Drive Beach is a good choice, with its gentle waves and amenities.

Must-do activities in Falmouth include biking or walking the Shining Sea Bikeway, visiting the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, exploring the historic Nobska Lighthouse, taking a ferry to Martha's Vineyard, and enjoying a whale watching tour. Don't forget to sample the local seafood at one of the many excellent restaurants.

The best time to visit Falmouth is during the summer months (June to August) when the weather is warm, and the beaches are open. However, this is also the busiest time. For fewer crowds and pleasant weather, consider visiting in the shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October). The fall offers beautiful foliage and fewer tourists.
