We carved out some time to do some adventuresome cruising in our van, and visited some areas we hadn't before. And on the 4th of November, we traveled out to Falmouth Heights and its beach (by the way, one of the most populated beaches during the summer season), and then we rode along the seaside, followed by a trip out to historic Sandwich and then back again.
These were quaint little towns with a feel of history to them, and there were the "classic Cape-style" homes, many of which were weather-worn and evoking a "natural" look. Then there were the very "expensive" homes situated on private roads along the beach. We could only imagine what the cost for some of those were. But it was history for us.
We continued our trek and traveled into North Falmouth, West Falmouth, and its well-known beach, Silver Beach, another popular spot for the summer folks, and kind of an out of the way spot, a beach you really have to go looking for. But we found it, and we hope to visit it again soon, and possibly maybe even sit at the beach and do a little swimming. There was so much to see, and after a few hours, we found ourselves retracing our route and ended back at the resort.
This kind of event might not be for everyone, but we figured since we were at a major vacationing area, there were places most people never see because they're so taken with the surf, sun, and sea. But there's more to the Cape than the ocean, believe me!!
