Side quest
The tide pools at Old Silver
low tide reveals the tide pools at the rocky end; high tide hides them; both are correct
Today, specifically
- 5 PM: Ghelfi's Candies, grab old-school fudge before it closes; a proper candy store moment
- 5:45 PM: Spohr Gardens at Oyster Pond, a hidden bayside garden most visitors miss; walk the quiet grounds as the light softens
- 8 PM: Pie in the Sky in Woods Hole, coffee and a pastry by the water as the ferry lights come on, catch the evening harbor glow
Tip: The wind is offshore at Menauhant if you swap in a quick beach swim before sunset instead, but Spohr is the real local secret most skip.
