The town offers a wide range of accomodation from guest houses to hotels. As well as the usual chain High Street stores there are a multitude of craft shops and souvenir shops for the tourist.
Warmed by the Gulf Stream, Falmouth boasts many sub-tropical gardens including the Fox Rosehill Gardens, once owned by the Fox family, and now a public park. The two acre park offers magnolias, acacias and rhododendrons in addition to exotic species such as the Chilean firebush.
