About Upper

Cape

Upper Cape, located between Buzzards Bay and Cape Cod Bay, is a coastal and village-centered Falmouth neighborhood with saltwater inlets and piney conservation land. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Main Street in Woods Hole, where ferry docks, marine labs, and compact storefronts set a working-harbor rhythm. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Woods Hole Science Aquarium act as cultural anchors, with The Knob adding a quiet shoreline counterpoint. Architecture leans toward shingled Cape cottages and weathered harbor-side buildings, with bikeable lanes linking beaches and ponds. Days track tides, ferry schedules, and the Shining Sea Bikeway’s steady flow. Small marinas and pocket parks keep the landscape open and maritime.
