East Falmouth
East Falmouth has been popular since the mid to late 1800s because
of its easy access to the water. Even today, it is the most densely
populated village in town with about 6,000 inhabitants. Many homes
are situated in neighborhoods that wrap the area’s four ponds, Great
Pond, Green Pond, Bourne’s Pond, and Eel Pond.
Menauhant Beach is a long and narrow public beach that doesn’t
get overly crowded. Fishermen also like this spot because it’s where
Bourne’s Pond empties into the sea.
In the case of East Falmouth, more people mean more activities
and opportunities for community engagement. Neighborhoods are
formed by creeks and ponds, and many have their own associations
that maintain recreational facilities and host events. Acapesket
borders Great Pond, Green Pond, and Vineyard Sound and is home
to the Shorewood Drive Association and the Great Harbors Resident
Association. Davisville is a community with direct access to Green
Pond and Bourne’s Pond, and it also includes Sea Farms Marsh, where
a trail cuts through 87 acres of woodland, field, and marsh. Two other
desirable villages include Menauhant, where the public beach and
Menauhant Yacht Club are located, and Seacoast Shores, which has
over 900 homes and a private beach on Eel Pond.
Route 28 runs through the northern part of East Falmouth,
allowing easy access to surrounding towns and villages.
The road is also how residents get to Bad Martha Farmer’s
Brewery, as well as the nearby Cape Cod Winery.
