Quissett Harbor

Quissett is a quietly tucked-away spot between Falmouth Village and Woods Hole, offering a protected deep-water anchorage that's well-shielded from open water chop. You'll drop the hook here and take in a classic New England harbor scene, with the Quissett Harbor Boatyard nearby maintaining a fleet of historic Herreshoff 12½s and S Boats. It's a short trip from Woods Hole if you want to head ashore and explore.
