This is being posted a bit later than published, but this summer the Boston Globe’s Travel editor assigned me to discover ten unique, off the track beaches, cultural activities, and other local joints to fill a day in Falmouth, one of the first towns across the Bourne Bridge, which carries day trippers and summer residents to man-made Cape Cod from the mainland. Among my discoveries were a local opera company comprised solely of college students from around the country chomping at the bit for a summer performing near the sea; the country’s oldest marine aquarium, free to the public; and a local cafe where the walls are plastered in local art for sale. The photos were taken by me as well. Click here to read the article.
