Falmouth:
Falmouth is one of the Cape's best
playgrounds for vacationers of all ages and interests. It features over 75
miles of scenic coastline, three ferries to Martha's Vineyard, countless
dining options, numerous antique shops, the Shining Sea bike trail, the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (which found the Titanic and
Bismarck, among other famous accomplishments), numerous public golf
courses and ocean temperatures and daytime high temperatures which both
average in the 70s during the month of August. Nantucket ferries run from
Hyannis, which is approximately thirty minutes (by car) from Falmouth.
Getting To Falmouth:
The
two major airports closest to Cape Cod are Logan International Airport in
Boston, MA (70 miles) and T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island (65
miles). Barnstable Airport is 22 miles from the Sea Crest Oceanfront
Resort, but this is a commuter airport that has smaller planes and fewer
flights. T.F. Green is preferred over Logan as it is usually less
congested. Rental cars, taxis and car service are available at all three
airports.
