Peaceful and serene! Just make sure to arrive close to opening, this beach is a gem and fills up early on weekends in the summer.

I love this beach and visit whenever I am on the Cape. This year we decided to go at low tide and enjoyed an incredible walk. It’s amazing to see how far out the beach actually goes. We saw a lot of oyster beds, sand crabs and lots of families with their kids trying to net sand crabs. It was a beautiful outing.

Came here to watch the sunset (check out one of the pix below). Parking was free (night time nobody cares), but we also found the beach itself was very nice. People swimming at dusk too. Great spot to see the sunset in Falmouth. We definitely also want to come back to use the beach in the daytime.

Falmouth Heights Beach

Reviewed By ChanEvan - Memphis, United States

Falmouth Heights Beach is across the street from Innseasons Captain's Quarters, where I stayed. Really beautiful blue water & soft beige sand that was easy to walk on. Small shells have washed up on the shore. Plenty of room, as school wasn't out yet & the family crowds had not arrived. Very clean. One day was 79 & perfect; another was 73 & windy, crisp but pleasant. Walk along the path above the beach to the top of the hill for fantastic views.
