A 5 minute walk from the cottage, it's a hidden gem! Bring some aqua socks to protect your feet in the water. It'll make the experience that much more enjoyable.

This beach is about a 10 minute walk fro the cottage. It's bigger than Barlows Landing Beach and a bit busier but still a hidden gem. Parking is available but I'm not sure if a parking sticker is required.

Food scene
It's bit more expensive than a typical family restaurant but it's very relaxed. Enjoy seating indoors or outdoors in their newly added garden dining area.

Newly updated menu with lots to choose from for everyone! Prices are good and the food is great! Our kids love the spaghetti and meatballs, Buffalo chicken wrap, and chicken parm. We all love their pizza and milkshakes and I love the scallops and bacon pizza as well as the fried chicken dinner. I’ve heard the fish and chips is good too.

Located on Main Street in downtown Falmouth, Liam's has a friendly family atmosphere and if you’re lucky you’ll get to hear Liam sing (he says he’s world renowned, lol). They have traditional Irish Pub fare. I recommend the fish and chips, and the shepherds pie as well as the Irish eggrolls and the Beef and Guinness stew. The bartender Heather makes the best espresso martini I've ever had the pleasure of tasting! Before or after eating you can stroll Main Street and peruse the many shops. There is often live music on Main Street as well.

Call ahead on a beach day to see if there's a wait. Located across the street from one of the better know beaches, the restaurant fills up quick. It's got good prices and family friendly atmosphere. Known for their traditional British Pub menu, complete with fish and chips and Bangers and mash. Our family loves the burgers and steak tips and the shepherds pie.

Best homemade ice cream in this neck of the woods. They have seasonal flavors like blueberry pie. If you don't mind traveling a bit further you must try Polar Cave in Mashpee!

What can I say, we LOVE this place! The ice cream is homemade by Mark and he's passionate about his ice cream! Not only are there plenty of flavors to choose from but he's got more than 20 specialty sundaes - try the PB & J sundae, Banana's Foster sundae or the Peanut Butter Avalanche. They also feature made to order waffle cones and bowls - the place smells divine! During COVID ordering has gone to online only so checkout their website and order ahead. It's takes a bit more effort but it's well worth it. Once you get there in your chosen time slot they bring the ice cream out to you with minimal waiting.

The owner Graham is passionate about two things - Italy and food! A little bit pricy but the food is delicious. Traditional Italian fare, some highlights include the brick oven pizza, Veal Saltimbocca, Calamari, Bolognese and Mediterranean salad. You can choose indoor dining which can be noisy due to the acoustics or patio dining with prime views for people watching in the Mashpee Commons.

Kind of a dive but the clam chowder is soooo good! As a local, I'd grab a bite here when I was in the area. It's decent food, not great, not bad. However, I recently tried the clam chowder (I've tried quite a lot of them over the years) and I was so impressed! I would come again, just for the chowder. If you don't want to spend a whole meal here, perhaps get the chowder to go.

Sightseeing
Located right next to the Shining Sea Bikeway in North Falmouth, they have all sorts of bikes to choose from. We recommend the tandem bikes or the recumbent trikes for a fun, out of the ordinary experience!
