Falmouth is one of Cape Cod’s most inviting coastal towns, with sandy beaches, a pretty harbour, independent shops and the wonderfully scenic Shining Sea Bikeway all adding to its summer appeal. There’s a good choice of places to stay, from charming historic inns and romantic B&Bs to family-friendly hotels and something a little more unusual. For a classic Cape Cod escape, The Coonamessett is our top pick, thanks to its lovely rooms, inviting outdoor spaces and excellent restaurant.
Falmouth is made for long summer days, whether that means swimming at Old Silver Beach, browsing the boutiques along Main Street or cycling the coastal Shining Sea Bikeway. There's plenty to explore beyond the beach, too. Discover local history at Falmouth Museums on the Green, wander the beautiful grounds of Highfield Hall & Gardens or head to Woods Hole for its waterfront restaurants and marine science attractions. For a change of scene, ferries run to Martha’s Vineyard, making a day trip to the island an easy addition to your stay.
