Rent a bike
Corner Cycle in Falmouth http://www.cornercycle.com/ - only 1/10 of a mile from the Shining Sea Bikeway - https://www.capecodbikeguide.com/shiningsea.asp
The Bikeway is a 10.7-mile paved path that sits atop what was once a train line. It begins in North Falmouth near Route 151, about seven miles south of the Cape Cod Canal, and winds its way down to Woods Hole.
