Happy New Year 2012 to one and all! It is a beautiful first day in Falmouth.

The temperature is in the 60′s, the sun is shining brightly and the birds are singing in the trees. Let us hope that this is a sign of what 2012 has in store for us.

Just had to capture the elegant holiday sunset that officially ushered in winter here in Falmouth Village.  Our stores are bustling with post Christmas shoppers having a wonderful time bargain hunting.  As you stroll down festive Main Street, the aroma emanating from our Class A restaurants is the perfect invitation to just – saunter in!!

A brand new year is ahead and the Falmouth B&B Association is looking forward to an exciting new season, greeting past guests and meeting new ones. 

May good health and happiness be yours as we sail gently into 2012.

There is a true feeling of Christmas in the air here in Falmouth as The Village is adorned in festive array with our very own greens: holly, boxwoods, cedar, pines/cones and garlands of cranberries.  True magic occurred on Sat. evening when the Village Green was lit where there was much ‘oohing and ahing’ heard from happy onlookers and, of course, lots of happy children when Santa arrived safe and sound!!

The Falmouth Bed & Breakfast Association extends to all much happiness and joy as we enter into the most peaceful of seasons.

Cape Cod Marathon Running Weekend

Cape Cod Marathon starting gun.

This is known throughout the running community as one of the most scenically beautiful marathon routes on the east coast.

“The Cape Cod Marathon takes its participants on a twenty-six mile loop around the town, beginning in the historic Falmouth Village Green, past the picturesque Falmouth Inner Harbor, along the breathtaking Nantucket Sound vistas of Falmouth Heights and Menauhant, across Green Pond and through the rustic wooded areas of Davisville and past Falmouth’s legendary Cranberry bogs in Hatchville. The race then turns west towards the Buzzards Bay villages of West Falmouth and Sippiwissett and south through the internationally famous scientific community of Woods Hole.” – https://www.capecodmarathon.com
