South of Massachusetts Route 28, the CDP is split into four necks, separated by tidal creeks (or “ponds”), each neck forming a natural neighborhood within the CDP. From east to west, the neighborhoods are:

Seacoast Shores

Seacoast Shores, formerly known as Jenkin’s Neck, is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in Falmouth, containing 905 homes. The Seacoast Shores Association is a not-for-profit organization that maintains 22 rights of way and a private beach for association members and residents of the neighborhood.

Great Harbors is managed by a volunteer board of directors, elected by all members of the association at an annual meeting in June.

Other areas

The East Falmouth area has two small non-census designated villages nearby. Hatchville is located to the north of East Falmouth, along Massachusetts Route 151 next to Coonamessett Pond, and Waquoit is located to the east, along Route 28 in the easternmost corner of Falmouth. While not part of the East Falmouth CDP (and thus not included in the census counts for East Falmouth), each village falls under the East Falmouth postal service jurisdiction.
