Falmouth:
Falmouth is one of the Cape's best playgrounds for vacationers of all ages and interests. It features over 75 miles of scenic coastline, three ferries to Martha's Vineyard, countless dining options, numerous antique shops, the Shining Sea bike trail, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (which found the Titanic and Bismarck, among other famous accomplishments), numerous public golf courses and ocean temperatures and daytime high temperatures which both average in the 70s during the month of August. Nantucket ferries run from Hyannis, which is approximately thirty minutes (by car) from Falmouth.

Getting To Falmouth:
The two major airports closest to Cape Cod are Logan International Airport in Boston, MA (70 miles) and T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island (65 miles). Barnstable Airport is 22 miles from the Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort, but this is a commuter airport that has smaller planes and fewer flights. T.F. Green is preferred over Logan as it is usually less congested. Rental cars, taxis and car service are available at all three airports.
