This is a surprisingly hipster joint in North Falmouth (yay!!) - worth getting dressed up for, but you don't have to! Fresh oysters, fresh everything - thoughtfully prepared and delivered with excellent, non-pretentious service. Cool bar scene. Tiny space tho - You will meet people at this bar!! Reservations are hard to get, so make your reservation as soon as you book your Falmouth vacation. And one more tip: This place would be totally wasted on children. Get a babysitter and enjoy a night out!

Falmouth's best kept secret - a local farm with a large array of farm animals (alpacas, chickens, beloved Peanut the turtle, etc.), fields where you can pick your own fresh berries or produce, kayak rentals, and a charming country store. Show your kids where their food comes from. Gather fresh eggs. We hear the restaurant is being ramped up for 2018 season. DON"T MISS Jamaican Barbecue Night every Wednesday night during the summer. Great food, BYOB, sleepy farm in the background. Perfect for families & large groups. Fun, memorable, authentic, and local.

Sightseeing
A daytime or sunset sail on the Liberté Schooner is one of Falmouth's best experiences!!!! Our family celebrates summer birthdays on the Liberté every year. Bring some bites & order cocktails on the boat. Liberté takes you from Falmouth Harbor (home of Clam Shack - MUST try the clam roll) through breathtaking Nantucket Sound. No sailing experience required but you can volunteer to hoist a jib if you are so inclined. Most of us just relax, eat, drink and enjoy the views!
