AROUND CAPE COD
North Falmouth
In the top left corner of the town, North Falmouth, a largely residential area, is characterized by quiet, peaceful roads. North Falmouth’s Historic District features architectural styles of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The district and many of its homes and summer resorts are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 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, 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 a former 1922 dining car. Looking for a live music scene? Check out Daily Brew Coffee House & Lounge’s rotating lineup.
Wing Pond is a welcome excursion just off 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.
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.
