is located on the "shoulder," or southwestern end of Cape Cod. It is approximately 72 miles southeast of Boston, and is bordered by Bourne and Sandwich on the north, Mashpee on the east, Buzzards Bay on the west and Nantucket Sound on the south. The town of Falmouth is comprised of eight distinct "villages:" Falmouth Center, East Falmouth, Hatchville, North Falmouth, Teaticket, Waquoit, West Falmouth and Woods Hole. Geographically speaking, Falmouth is a large town, with one of the longest coastlines in the state of Massachusetts. It offers many fine beaches, freshwater ponds and forest areas and has a semi-rural atmosphere. It is less developed than other areas of Cape Cod, but has much to offer visitors. Some of the outdoor activities available in Falmouth include sailing, kayaking, golf, whale watching and biking the famous Shining Sea Bikeway. In addition, there are scenic walking/hiking trails in the area and charter boats for deep-sea fishing. Falmouth has an active arts and culture scene with world class music, theater and galleries, and is home to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the International Wildlife Coalition. It makes an ideal base for visiting the other Cape Cod attractions like Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket Island, and Hyannis and is convenient for day trips to historic Plymouth Village, Boston and Newport, Rhode Island.

East Falmouth Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The Cape Cod region has a four season climate with maritime influences. The weather here is generally more moderate than inland Massachusetts. Extreme conditions such as blizzards and hurricanes are possible, but not typical. Due to the moderating affect of the ocean, temperatures in the Cape Cod region are usually a few degrees cooler in summer and a few degrees warmer in winter. Spring comes late and is chilly, but autumn is mild and remains warmer than places further inland. The Cape Cod region has the lowest precipitation of anyplace in New England. Tropical storms occur once every 5 or 6 years, with very high winds and heavy rain. On average, the area is hit by a hurricane once every 11 or 12 years.
