Yarmouth

Yarmouth is Falmouth with a slightly looser collar and an actual Main Street. Royal River, Clam Festival, the giant globe at DeLorme - it has props, which helps on a first walk. The dating pool runs small, coastal-professional, and tilts toward couples who moved up from Portland for the school district and now wonder where the bar scene went. Singles exist but cluster in their thirties and forties, often divorced or never-married-by-design. Upside: walkable downtown, lower attitude than Falmouth, genuinely good coffee. Downside: you will see every match again at Hannaford. Use it as a daytime meet, then drive south for evening.
