Parking Notice

Street parking in the village of Woods Hole is very limited and metered. We strongly encourage summer visitors to park at the Falmouth Mall or free municipal lots in Falmouth and ride the WHOOSH trolley approximately 4 miles to Woods Hole. The trolley is operated by the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority and charges minimal fees.
