Explore Cape Cod A Perfect Day in Falmouth
Grab coffee at Coffee Obsession, hit Chapoquoit Beach or Beebe Woods, and don't leave without a sandwich (and pickle chips!) at Pickle Jar Kitchen. End the night at Water St. Kitchen in Woods Hole or Osteria la Civetta in the village — and catch the Falmouth Farmer's Market every Thursday by the harbor.

START YOUR DAY AT:
My go-to for morning coffee is Coffee Obsession (in Falmouth village or Woods Hole) for great vibes, great coffee and the Woods Hole location does food to order.
SPEND YOUR MORNING:
A few of my favorite spots to start my day are Chapoquoit Beach, The Knob or Beebe Woods. Falmouth has tons of great walking/hiking trails. And of course the Shining Sea Bike path! Perfect for riders of all ages and skill levels.
GRAB LUNCH AT:
My fave lunch spot is Pickle Jar Kitchen! All of their sandwiches are yummy but don’t forget to order pickle chips! You will be glad you did! And their bloody marys are epic.
SPEND YOUR AFTERNOON:
Main St. has tons of great shops but a few of my favorites include Eastman’s Home and Hardware (way more than hardware, they have an amazing kitchen shop attached), Eight Cousins which now has two locations, one for kids and one for adults. For some salty sea air head down to Woods Hole and grab lunch at Captain Kidd or Quicks Hole Taqueria and check out Masterson Made for stylish home decor, artwork and handmade cutting boards.
INDULGE IN A TREAT AT:
Maison Villatte (or just “the French Bakery” to locals) cannot be beat for indulgent French pastries and breads. There is often a line but it’s worth the wait!
END YOUR DAY AT:
We have so many great restaurants in Falmouth but our go-to for special occasions or casual date nights alike are Water St. Kitchen in Woods Hole or Osteria la Civetta in Falmouth village. The menu at Water St. changes with the seasons and highlights local and in-season ingredients. At la Civetta you will find a romantic cozy atmosphere, a dreamy patio during the warmer seasons, and the freshest handmade pastas.
BONUS – HIDDEN GEM OR INSIDER TIP:
For more local flavor and fresh produce check out the Falmouth Farmer’s Market every Thursday right next to Falmouth Harbor!
