The Shining Sea Bikeway

A ride down a rail-trail from cranberry bog country to the ferry docks of Woods Hole

Some of the best of Falmouth is not a building at all. Five stops over 9.3 miles, about an hour and a half of biking. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

Of the three MassRoam tours in Falmouth, this is the outdoors one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
