The best time to visit Falmouth is between late spring and early fall (May to October) when the weather is warm and the town comes alive with events and outdoor activities. During the summer months, especially July and August, you can enjoy Falmouth’s beautiful beaches, bike rides on the Shining Sea Bikeway, and events like the Falmouth Road Race and the Woods Hole Film Festival. Early fall, particularly September, offers milder crowds, pleasant weather, and stunning fall foliage. For a quieter experience, late spring brings blooming gardens and the annual Cape Cod Maritime Festival. While winters are quieter and colder, they still offer charm for those seeking serene coastal escapes and off-season discounts.

Public Transport
Public transportation in Falmouth is limited but functional for visitors who wish to explore without a car. The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) operates the Whoosh Trolley, a seasonal service running from late June to Labor Day. This trolley connects key points in Falmouth, such as the Falmouth Mall, Village Green, and Woods Hole, with the Steamship Authority ferry terminal. It’s an affordable option, and the route conveniently links to the Shining Sea Bikeway for outdoor enthusiasts. However, the service is seasonal and best suited for summer visitors.
Year-round, the Sealine bus connects Falmouth to other Cape Cod towns, but local options remain sparse. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft are popular alternatives, offering more flexibility for tourists.
For information on fares, routes, and timetables, visit Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority's official website.
