FALMOUTH, MA — Falmouth's laid-back vibes have landed it a spot as one of the most charming small cities in the United States. TravelMag, the online travel magazine, named Falmouth one of its 30 "most charming small cities in the U.S." Released Monday, the survey asked a "broad number" of travel writers, photographers and others to name their five favorite small cities (populations between 10,000 and 250,000) in the country. The final list included the cities that got the most votes. Here's what TravelMag had to say about Falmouth: "When you head even further up the North Atlantic coast of the US, the cities aren't just named after British kings, but after British towns. Falmouth, first settled in 1660, is one such place. The city retains a laid-back rural charm, along with all the classic Cape Cod tropes such as the squat, white Nobska Lighthouse, waterfront seafood shacks, quaint wineries, and pleasant sandy beaches. For nature lovers, there are numerous wildlife refuges and conservation areas with hiking and kayaking, such as Waquoit Bay. And when you're ready to explore farther afield, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket islands are just a short ferry ride away." The other Massachusetts community to make the list was Salem.
