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 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. With more than 32,000 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.

The 10.7-mile Shining Sea Bikeway, named for Katharine Lee Bates’ “America the Beautiful”, winds its way past beaches, over bridges, and through wooded areas and salt marshes. The bike route is a popular spot for families, but also a means of transportation for those who would rather commute to work on two wheels.
