As of my knowledge cutoff date in October 2021, there isn't a notable marine port specifically referred to as "West Falmouth Town" in Massachusetts, USA. West Falmouth is a village located within the town of Falmouth on Cape Cod. The area is known for its scenic views, beaches, and maritime activities, but it primarily caters to smaller recreational vessels rather than large commercial shipping operations.

However, I can provide details about marine facilities available in or around Falmouth, which may include West Falmouth:
