Cape Cod - Woods Hole MA

Woods Hole Cape Cod Massachusetts

Although part of the town of Falmouth, Woods Hole’s geographic location, jutting out into the water, sets it apart from the other seven villages that make up the town of Falmouth. The Woods Hole is well known not only as the place to catch the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard, but also as a center of research and study in Oceanography and Marine Biology. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Marine Biological Laboratory, and the Sea Education Association are all located in this small village (it was also the location of Buckminster Fuller’s first geodesic dome).

The village itself is a picturesque seaside port, perfect for pleasant strolls to view the historic architecture, browsing in the plentiful the shops and galleries, sampling the fresh seafood at one of the local eateries, or grabbing a seat at a sidewalk café for a bit of people-watching. Don’t miss the views from Woods Hole’s historic Nobska Lighthouse and beach.
