Catch a Ferry to Martha’s Vineyard
Take the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard from Hyannis, just about 20 minutes from the property. Tickets for the ferry can sell out, so purchase yours as soon as possible. After booking your tickets, reserve an electric bike from MV Moped Rental, located steps from the dock in Oak Bluffs. Then enjoy the ride along their beautiful beaches. Head out to Edgartown and grab lunch harborside at The Seafood Shanty. At the end of the day, grab drinks at the Martha’s Vineyard Sandbar while waiting for the ferry back.
Take a Ride to Chatham
About 30 minutes east rests the charming town of Chatham. Go for a stroll along Main Street to wander in and out of local shops, or say hi to the seals at the Chatham Pier Fish Market. Connect with nature at the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge or check out the Chatham Railroad Museum, found inside a restored 1887 railroad depot. See a featured exhibit and learn about maritime communication history at the Chatham Marconi Maritime Museum.
Explore the Cape Cod National Seashore
The Cape Cod National Seashore starts in Chatham and stretches into Orleans, Wellfleet, Eastham, Truro, and Provincetown. This natural attraction is one of the most popular places to visit in the region for a reason. Visit the gorgeous beaches, or explore downtown Provincetown, home to plenty of shops, restaurants, and oceanviews to enjoy. Take advantage of the park’s trip-planning tool to make the most of your visit.
