VILLAGE PROFILES
NORTH FALMOUTH
Situated as the northernmost village, easily accessible via the scenic Shining Sea
Bikeway, North Falmouth retains its idyllic charm among Falmouth's villages. Take
a leisurely drive along Old Main Road to marvel at the timeless architecture dating
back to the 1730s. Alternatively, wander along the footpath winding through the
picturesque 20-acre Roskovics Conservation Area, once a bivouac site for soldiers
during World War II. A visit to North Falmouth wouldn't be complete without a
stop at Old Silver Beach, hailed as one of Cape Cod's finest beaches. Here, soft sands
invite relaxation, pristine waters beckon for a refreshing swim, and the sunset
over Buzzards Bay paints a breathtaking panorama, ensuring an unforgettable
experience.
TEATICKET
Ta-Ta-ket, a name bestowed upon this village by the Wampanoag Indians, signifies "at
the main tidal stream." Once characterized by a convergence of freshwater streams
meandering through pine groves and farmland, Teaticket has evolved into one of
Falmouth's bustling commercial districts. Enriched by its own verdant village green,
Teaticket stands as a vibrant residential community and a vibrant retail hub. Here,
visitors and locals alike can explore a diverse array of offerings, including antiques,
artisanal furniture, markets, dining establishments, and a myriad of retail shopping
opportunities.
WAQUOIT
Waquoit, the most charmingly rustic of Falmouth's villages, exudes an endearing
simplicity. Much of Waquoit, including Washburn Island, has been designated for
preservation on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places. With a wealth
of heritage, the island has unveiled Native American artifacts like hammer flakes
