• Mashpee Commons

    Part town square, part shopping village, Mashpee Commons is the Upper Cape's most walkable gathering spot — with serious dining, indie boutiques, free parking, and year-round community events all in one car-friendly (but surprisingly pedestrian-friendly) hub.

  • Buzzards Bay Park

    Front-row views of the Cape Cod Canal, fishing, cycling access, and unforgettable sunsets over Buzzards Bay — this low-key waterfront park punches well above its weight as a gateway to the Cape.

  • Falmouth Heights Beach, Falmouth

    A warm-water, southwest-facing gem on Vineyard Sound with knockout views of Martha's Vineyard and a neighborhood charm that big Cape beaches can't touch. Sunsets here are genuinely unfair.

  • Falmouth Village Green, Falmouth

    Falmouth's historic Village Green is the soul of one of Cape Cod's most charming downtowns — a classic New England common with Revolutionary-era roots, summer concerts, and easy access to the best shops and restaurants on Main Street.

  • Sandwich

    The oldest town on Cape Cod, Sandwich delivers history, heritage, and genuine New England beauty without the summer circus. From the Sandwich Glass Museum to the iconic boardwalk over the marsh, this is the Cape at its most authentically itself.

  • Falmouth Academy

    One of Cape Cod's finest independent schools, Falmouth Academy has been nurturing intellectually curious students in grades 7–12 since 1977. Small classes, a rigorous college-prep curriculum, and a genuinely warm community make it a standout in the region.

  • Pokey LaFarge

  • Monument Beach

    Warm, calm Buzzards Bay waters and front-row views of the Cape Cod Canal make Monument Beach one of Bourne's best-kept secrets. A true local's beach — relaxed, family-friendly, and blissfully uncrowded.

  • Sandwich Boardwalk Beach

    A 1,350-foot wooden boardwalk built by the community leads to one of the warmest, calmest beaches on Cape Cod Bay — and some of the most unforgettable sunsets on the entire peninsula. Free, beautiful, and deeply local, Sandwich Boardwalk Beach is the Upper Cape at its absolute best.

  • Town Neck Beach

    Town Neck Beach pairs long sandy shoreline with sweeping Cape Cod Canal views and the beloved Sandwich Boardwalk, making it one of the Upper Cape's most scenic and character-rich beaches. Calm bay waters, epic sunsets, and a dogs-welcome policy seal the deal.
