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. 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. It also includes Sea Farms Marsh, where a trail cuts through 87 acres of woodland, field, and marsh. Two other desirable areas are 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.
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.
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 and the nearby Cape Cod Winery.
