A ROUND CA PE COD
North Falmouth
In the top left corner of the town, North Falmouth, a largely residential
area, is characterized by quiet, peaceful roads. Also, North Falmouth’s
Historic District features the architectural styles of the 19th and early
20th centuries. The district and many of its homes and summer resorts
are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Wing Pond is a welcome excursion just off of Route 28A or the Shining
Sea Bikeway. Along the edge of the pond, walkers will find an old mill
house as well as a working cranberry bog. There are two miles of wide,
sandy trails that run by the scenery before entering the woods and
passing Herring Brook.
Boaters and beachgoers will find a lot to love about the area. The
Brewer’s Fiddlers Cove Marina is a well-protected cove with easy access
to harbors and inlets as well as Martha’s Vineyard. Beaches include New
Silver, Sea Scape, and Wild Harbor plus well-known spots like Megansett
and Old Silver Beach. Located on Buzzards Bay, the shoreline is known
for calm, warm waters and soft waves (although the current can pick up at
high tide).
The North Falmouth Village Association runs community events
throughout the year, including a road race, Halloween parade, Christmas
tree lighting and caroling, and more. Restaurants in the village include
Bucatino Restaurant and Wine Bar, which cooks up authentic Italian
cuisine with fresh local ingredients, and Epic Oyster, where oysters are
shucked to order inside this former 1922 dining car. Hosting at your new
home? Stop by the North Falmouth Cheese Shop for hors d’oeuvres.
North Falmouth is home to some of Cape Cod’s most beautiful beaches. Old Silver Beach has calming
views of Buzzards Bay and some of the best swimming in the area. After Memorial Day Megansett
Harbor is filled with boats, especially sailboats. The area is a great place to enjoy the view, beachcomb,
or catch the sunset.
