Originally built over a century ago as beach cabanas, a handful of historic structures still dot the shoreline along Surf Drive. Here is a peek inside two of these classic beach cottages. It’s easy to envision the sleepy summer days of decades past as well as to imagine a future where time stands still, sunsets seem to linger longer, and life at the beach remains enduringly lovely. These beach cottages are a iconic landmark to many in and around town.
It’s only about 200 square feet of rough-hewn shingled wood, but for homeowners the beach cottage is a happy place. It’s basically one room and a deck, but most of summer days are spent here. From lunches, dinners, and 4th of July parties to watching sunsets and the Falmouth Road Race.
Soaking up the endless days of summers.
The beach cottage is so bright and cheery. One of the family memeber painted the beach scene.
The owners spend much of the summer at their beach cottage enjoying the ocean views and the opportunity to relax and stargazing.
