[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the info, esp the Chatham and 14:34 poster. Love your insights.

From what I've been reading, the ocean side waters are rougher, colder, and not really great for young kids? I would love a great, soft sandy beach with warmer waters, so I'm thinking that the bayside is better for now, and the outer cape better for when the kids are older--is this right?

Also, can anyone describe Falmouth/Wood's Hole and Dennis? For various reasons (family/friends), these are areas that would be convenient for us, but we are open to other areas, too.[/quote]

We went to Falmouth for several summers from about 2005-2013.  Really like the town, it's bigger than others with shopping and restaurants.  The water is calmer, but  the beach itself and entrance to the water can be quite rocky and seaweedy. There are not really any wide sandy beaches.  Old Silver Beach is the nicest beach and does get quite crowded in the summer.  It's in N. Falmouth so a bit of a drive out of town.  But a really nice beach.  There's a nice playground in the center of Falmouth and an area where in town where they have concerts in summer.  There is a children's museum in Mashpee we used to go to on rainy days.  Woods Hole has the oceanographic institute which is also interesting for an hour or so with kids.  I really liked Falmouth for the town and the things to do, but in my opinion the beaches there are not great.[/quote]
