The beauty of Cape Cod is how much there is to do on the Cape or nearby. For example, Newport is only an hour a ten minutes from The Captain’s Manor Inn in Falmouth Cape Cod.

Newport Folk Festival @ Fort Adams State Park
Why not attend the Newport Folk Festival on July 30th and July 31st and after the festivities on Sunday head to Falmouth and plan to stay a couple of days at The Captain’s Manor Inn enjoying all there is to offer in Falmouth. You could even plan a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Come on down to breakfast early say at 8 and then head over to the ferry for your 45 minutes trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Spend the day exploring all there is to see on the Vineyard then take the ferry back and plan on a wine/cheese platter at our Inn before going out to dinner at one of the fine restaurants in walking distance from the Inn.
We hope to see you soon.

Just across from The Captain’s Manor Inn is the Falmouth Historic Society on the Falmouth Village Green. One of the favorite pastimes for visitors is the free 90 minute guided walk past Falmouth’s historic homes and places. The walk begins at 10 am starting May 31 and every Tuesday throughout the summer.
One of our guests from Canada last summer took some wonderful pictures of the Museums on the Green and their gardens that are shown below:

We are pleased that the Falmouth Yacht Club, in cooperation with the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce and MacDougalls’ Cape Cod Marine Service, will be holding the first Falmouth to Hyannis Race on Friday, May 27, 2011. The 20 mile course will start at 10 am near the mouth of Falmouth Harbor and finish at Hyannis.

As a precursor to the annual Figawi race, the Falmouth leg allows sailors, particularly from points west of Cape Cod, and opportunity to shake down and prep for the Hyannis to Nantucket sail later that same weekend. In addition, the stop-over in Falmouth Harbor will give delivery crews and visiting yachtsmen an opportunity to visit and enjoy the hospitality of one of the jewels of Cape Cod that is Falmouth. Sailors with be welcomed with dockage and mooring space courtesy of MacDougalls’, Falmouth Yacht Club and the Town of Falmouth and the best of Main Street’s dining and shopping. As a proud member of the Falmouth Community, The Captain’s Manor Inn bed and breakfast views the Falmouth to Hyannis Race as an event sailors will come to enjoy for years.
