Woods-Hole
is one of the eight villages of the town of Falmouth, located on the southwestern end of Cape Cod, about 72 miles southeast of Boston. The other seven villages are Falmouth Center, East Falmouth, West Falmouth, Hatchville, North Falmouth, Teaticket and Waquoit. Woods Hole is approximately three miles from Falmouth Center. Woods Hole is a quintessential seaside village that bustles with activity during the summer months. It's home to the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Sea Education Association and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, which is world renowned for finding the Titanic and for the deep diving research submarine, ALVIN. The Woods Hole Science Aquarium was voted "Best Rainy Day Activity on the Upper Cape" and Best Kids Activity on the Upper Cape in Cape Cod Life magazines 2005 Best of the Cape and Islands Readers Poll. Other "non-rainy day" activities include swimming, sailing, boating, fishing, golf, and tennis, hiking and biking the Shining Sea Bikepath (which originates in the town of Falmouth.) Woods Hole is a great "walking town" and offers great restaurants, unique shops and galleries. Other things to do in include visiting the Woods Hole Historical Collection, the Bradley House Museum, the "secret" Spohr's Garden on Fells Road and peaceful Quisset Harbor for a spectacular view of the sunset. Ferries depart daily for Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, and Woods Hole is about a two-hour drive to Boston.

Woods Hole Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Martha's Vineyard has a four-season climate, with milder winters and cooler summers than places further inland. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean brings changeable weather to this region. It has plenty of sunshine, but rain and fog are not uncommon - even in the summertime. Spring is a short season on Martha's Vineyard and snow is possible even in April. Summers are quite warm and humid, but with cooling ocean breezes. Fall is often the most pleasant with mild, sunny days and cool, crisp nights. Extreme weather is possible, such as severe thunderstorms, nor'easters and hurricanes. However, hurricanes generally weaken to a tropical storm by the time they reach Martha's Vineyard.
