Falmouth has 11 beaches: Bristol, Chapoquoit, Falmouth
Heights, Grew’s Pond, Megansett, Menauhant East and
West, Old Silver, Stoney, Surf Drive, and Wood Neck. The
town staffs ten beaches with lifeguards and also offers
swim lessons to children over four. In addition to its sandy
shores, Falmouth is home to rivers and more than 30 ponds,
including Waquoit Bay, Eel Pond, Bourne’s Pond, Green Pond,
Great Pond, Little Pond and Falmouth Inner Harbor. Kayaking,
canoeing, and swimming on these calm water gems are
some locals’ best-kept secrets.
Falmouth is home to a number of marine science
institutions, including the Woods Hole Research
Center, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the
Marine Biological Laboratory, NOAA’s Northeast
Fisheries Science Center, and more.
With over 31,000 calling Falmouth home, it is the second
largest town on the Cape in terms of population. The
community is active year-round. In the summer, beaches and
restaurants fill up, and at the end of the season, the Falmouth
Road Race takes over, bringing runners from all over the
world to compete. In the winter, a holiday stroll closes Main
Street to traffic and fills it with activities for adults and kids.
