Woods Hole is a census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Falmouth in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. It lies at the extreme southwest corner of Cape Cod, near Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands. The population was 925 at the 2000 census.
It is the site of several famous marine science institutions, including Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Woods Hole Research Center, NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center (which started the Woods Hole scientific community in 1871), a USGS coastal and marine geology center, and the home campus of the Sea Education Association. It is also the site of United States Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England (formerly USCG Group Woods Hole), the Nobska Light lighthouse, and the terminus of the Steamship Authority ferry route between Cape Cod and the island of Martha's Vineyard.
Historically, Woods Hole included one of the few good harbors (along with Hyannis) on the southern side of Cape Cod (i.e. Great Harbor, contained by Penzance Point) and became a center for whaling, shipping, and fishing, prior to its dominance today by tourism and marine research. At the end of the nineteenth century, Woods Hole was the home of the Pacific Guano Company, which produced fertilizer from bird dung imported from islands in the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean, and the coast of South Carolina. After the firm went bankrupt in 1889, Long Neck– the peninsula on which their factory was located– was renamed Penzance Point and was developed with Shingle-Style summer homes for bankers and lawyers from New York and Boston. Notable property owners on Penzance Point at the beginning of the twentieth century included Seward Prosser of New York's Bankers Trust Company; Francis Bartow, a partner in J. P. Morgan and Company; Joseph Lee, a partner in Lee, Higginson & Co.; and Franklin A. Park, an executive of Singer Sewing Machine. Other notable businessmen established homes on Gansett Point, Nobska Point, and at Quissett Harbor, further from the village center.
Ferry to Martha's Vineyard
The Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority (tel 508-540-2022), operates car ferries from Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, and from Hyannis to Oak Bluffs (Martha's Vineyard). (There are no ferries to Edgartown.)
Separate car ferries and passenger-only ferries sail from Hyannis to the island of Nantucket, and between the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. More...
The car ferries also carry passengers without cars, and passengers with bicycles.
You should have a reservation to ship your car off-season (November through May), and you must have a car reservation in the high-summer months from mid-June through early September.
Parking
If you plan to take the ferry, do not park in Woods Hole. Follow signs to the Steamship Authority parking lots in Falmouth. If you ignore this advice and try to park in Woods Hole, you will probably be fined and your car towed. More...
Buses to/from Woods Hole
In high summer, Peter Pan runs buses between the Steamship Authority car ferry docks in Woods Hole and Boston, Providence RI and New York City.
Although bus schedules leaving Woods Hole are designed to work in conjunction with ferry arrivals, connections are not guaranteed because bad weather can make the ferry late, and the bus does not wait for a late ferry. It departs according to its published schedule.
Avoid taking the last ferry of the day from Martha's Vineyard to Woods Hole (or to Hyannis). It may not arrive in time for the departure of the last bus of the day. You may in fact arrive in time, but it's not dependable—the bus departs at its scheduled time, not upon arrival of the ferry.
Take an earlier ferry, or be prepared perhaps to spend the night in Woods Hole or Falmouth.
