Things To Do
Surf Drive Beach
There are tons of beaches on the cape (of course)! Check out the Visitor section of the website for more options. Surf Drive Beach is a great shell hunting area.
Martha's Vineyard
The ferry to Martha's Vineyard is about a 45-minute ride. It is operated by the Steamship Authority all day, every day. Check their website for schedule times. Departure is from Woods Hole (4.5 miles from Falmouth). Lots to see on the Vineyard. Lighthouses, an antique carousel, more beaches and some fun architecture.
Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises
Whale watching cruises are usually three and a half to four hours long. No guarantee you'll see whales, but you'll enjoy a scenic ride through Barnstable Harbor, including several lighthouses along the way.
Nobska Lighthouse
Nobska was constructed in 1829 and is still an active lighthouse to this day. It's one of the many lighthouses on Cape Cod.
Captain Parker's Pub
Doug's favorite clam chowder spot on the cape! Take note, the local pronunciation is "chowdah."
Woods Hole Science Aquarium
The country's oldest marine aquarium. A great activity with kids or if the weather isn't cooperating.
