The Woods Hole Historical Museum is a great summer destination if you are interested in Cape Cod history. This lovely small house is perched right on Little Harbor in Woods Hole so you can enjoy their exhibits as well as the cool ocean breeze on a sunny summer day.
This summer, there are two temporary exhibits — one on the history of business in Woods Hole replete with photos and stories, and the other the work of illustrator James Prosek who sketches ocean fish for publication like a modern day Audubon. His many books are also available for viewing at the museum, and you will marvel at the accuracy and beauty of his intricate drawings.
Out behind the museum is a barn filled with antique boats and memorabilia about wooden boats with open doors to the breeze and a charming row of signal flags draped across the front door.
On Saturday July 19th at 10 am, the Woods Hole Historical Museum holds their annual auction. This is a great event, filled with locals and visitors who come for the bargains and the great good humor of auctioneer Phil Stanton. They only offer this auction every other year, and it raises money for the Museum.
The Woods Hole Historical Museum is located at 579 Woods Hole Road in Woods Hole (a village of the town of Falmouth) on Cape Cod.

Wood Neck Beach is one of many public beaches in Falmouth Mass on Cape Cod. Wood Neck has pay parking, lifeguards during main beach hours in summer and public porta-potties. There is also an ice cream truck that regularly visits Wood Neck Beach with water, snacks and of course ice cream.
Wood Neck is especially popular with families because it sits on the headland of a large and interesting marsh. Kids can wade back along the sandy shore and see all sorts of sea life — crabs, spawning fish, shore birds and more. In addition, Wood Neck has a tidal current that washed in and out of the marsh via a river-like opening. The water that comes out of the marsh is especially warm and makes for fun swimming with the rip tide.
Wood Neck is the first in a string of beaches that extend north from here towards Old Silver Beach, all facing Buzzards Bay. In the distance on a clear day you can see the bridge over the Cape Cod canal, and the tankers headed along the southern Massachusetts coast (about 12 miles away) chugging towards the canal. The steady southwesterly breeze blows across this beach, making it wonderfully cool most summer days.
When you visit Falmouth, venture off the beaten path and check out Wood Neck Beach. Day passes to the parking lot are often on offer from your friendly B&B owner, or are available from the Town Beach office at Surf Drive for $10 per day.
Wood Neck is located off Sippewissett Road in West Falmouth, about a mile from Main Street Falmouth. It is in a residential neighborhood and the road to it is called Wood Neck Road, but other than that there is no signage to this well kept secret.
