Lets Tour Martha's Vineyard via Woods Hole ferry in September!
We will see a classic New England Island via scenic coastal route after a ferry ride. We will depart from Woods Hole on ferry at 8:15 AM. Arriving in Vineyard Haven at 9:00AM.
Our tour takes us around the island to Menemsh where you can opt for a quick bike ferry to spectacular Aquinnah Cliffs. Then we will make our way to Chilmark country store for a tasty lunch stop in historic West Tisbury. Making our way through Katama, a beautiful barrier beach, and into Edgartown. Optional segment for historic buffs to another quick ferry to Chappaquiddick Island.
Then heading back to Oak Bluffs along a beautiful seashore road. Our tour ends either at Oak Bluff or to Vineyard Haven for a ferry back to Woods Hole. Jump into the ocean for a post ride swim and beverage or ice cream at Mad MArtha'c cafe.
We will start out as group with pacing at Ave. speeds 16-18. The tour is intended to appreciate the MV scenery and historic sites, so stops for pics are encouraged.
