Beaches in Woods Hole, MA
Nobska Beach Woods Hole, MA
A white-sand crescent, nestled in the rocky shoreline and under the shadow of the scenic Nobska Lighthouse, this iconic Cape Cod beach looks out over the Vineyard Sound.
The crystal-clear water laps the soft sand, anchored by rocky outcroppings at either end. Nobska is one of the best beaches in Falmouth because of the spectacular view of the Vineyard Sound. Add the salty breeze off the water and this is a taste of heaven on one of those hot Cape Cod summer days or magnificent fall weekends.
Watch as the huge ferries pass in the distance – taking day-trippers out to the island where they will fight the crowds for a postage stamp piece of South Beach – all while you dip your toes in the warm Gulf stream waters, stretch out on your towel, and breathe in the sweet ocean breeze.
Stony Beach Woods Hole, MA
Sitting on the coast of Woods Hole in Falmouth, this sandy, north-facing beach town is a sweet summer spot. Just a quick walk or bike ride from the bustling village, Stony Beach provides a refreshing perspective of Buzzards Bay from one of its southernmost mainland views.
Stoney Beach itself is a small section of sand that is great for children. The calm waters and smooth sand make it a great fit for little ones. Two large jetties define either end of the beach, and the water remains shallow a long way out – providing plenty of room for all sorts of water play.
There are lots of hermit crabs and other small sea life along the jetty, making it the perfect place for kids to explore.
Chapoquoit Beach Woods Hole, MA
Chapoquoit Beach in West Falmouth is famous for its waves, making it a great spot for kiteboarders and windsurfers. “Happy Chappy,” as it’s known to locals, is a family-friendly beach and an idyllic location with low tides, creating wonderful opportunities to wade around and explore tidal pools.
More secluded than other parts of Cape Cod, Chapoquoit Beach presents true serenity on Buzzards Bay. Sheltered by West Falmouth Harbor and jutting out into the bay, the peninsula beach is one of the most westernmost beaches on all of Cape Cod.
