Falmouth is a coastal town on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It’s known for its beaches, such as Falmouth Heights, across from the island of Martha’s Vineyard. Inland, Highfield Hall & Gardens, a 19th-century estate, exhibits contemporary art. The landmark Nobska Lighthouse stands at the town’s southern tip. The Woods Hole Science Aquarium is home to marine life such as seals and lobsters.

Cape Cod, a hook-shaped peninsula of the U.S. state of Massachusetts, is a popular summertime destination. It's the site of quaint villages, seafood shacks, lighthouses, ponds and bay and ocean beaches. In the large town of Hyannis, the John F. Kennedy Museum is the first stop on the Kennedy Legacy Trail through downtown, where ferries depart to the resort islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
