Things To Do
Martha's Vineyard
Take a day or half day trip to beautiful Martha's Vineyard! The trip between Woods Hole and Martha's Vineyard takes 45 minutes. The ferry has refreshments, restrooms and WIFI. Martha's Vineyard, a Massachusetts island, sits in the Atlantic just south of Cape Cod. A longtime New England summer colony, it encompasses harbor towns and lighthouses, sandy beaches and farmland. It's accessible only by boat or air.
Nobska Lighthouse
Nobska Light, originally called Nobsque Light, also known as Nobska Point Light is a lighthouse located near the division between Buzzards Bay, Nantucket Sound, and Vineyard Sound in the settlement of Woods Hole, Massachusetts on the southwestern tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Shining Sea Bikeway
The Shining Sea Bikeway hugs the coast from Falmouth to Woods Hole and then beyond to North Falmouth, winding along the Vineyard Sound shoreline. Wonderful for both walking and cycling, it was built on a former railroad right-of-way. The paved path is level for nearly its entire 10.7-mile distance with only a slight grade in certain spots.
Cape Cod National Seashore
In 1961, summer native President John F. Kennedy designated the east shore of the Outer Cape a national park. Today, the 40-mile stretch of coast is recognized as having some of the best beaches on Cape Cod, including Nauset Beach in Eastham, Marconi Beach in Wellfleet and Race Point and Herring Cove beaches in Provincetown.
Landfall Restaurant
Waterfront dining on Woods Hole Harbor. Fun dining experience to enjoy fresh local cuisine - lobsters, swordfish, clams, scallops and seasonal fish. Constructed of wood taken from ship wrecks and boards from old buildings, Landfall's dining room is authentic Cape Cod.
Bad Martha Farmer's Brewery
Dance with a stranger. Give out your real number. Convince someone that's your yacht moored outside the harbor. A trip to Martha's Vineyard or Cape Cod is a chance to escape. To let go. To be, dare we say, a little bad. That indulgent spirit lives and breathes in every drop of Bad Martha beer. So grab a bottle and get bad today.
Somerset Creamery
Grab some ice cream on your way to or leaving the Cape! Family owned establishment serving fresh homemade ice cream cones, sundaes and ice cream drinks since 1937.
The Freedom Trail
The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile-long path through downtown Boston, Massachusetts, that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States. Marked largely with brick, it winds between Boston Common to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown.
All Too Human
If you need a shopping fix, Andrew's sisters store is the place to go! All Too Human is Boston's concept store for men and women featuring international design and fashion. Also check out nearby Newbury St. - Boston's most enchanting street. Eight blocks filled with salons, boutiques, and fabulous dining. Boston's Newbury Street has something for everyone.
Boston Public Garden
These charming public gardens were created in 1634 and modified in the Victorian Age, with the assistance of the then newly formed Boston Parks and Recreation Department, introducing over 80 species of plants from both local and varied locations around the city. Vibrant floral patterns were created using the very new techniques of hybridizing and propagating, eventually leading to the importing of exotic trees and plants. A popular attraction for all the family as you stroll past the famous Swan Boats operated and created over 100 years ago, the lovely lake and fountains, and variety of trees. There are plenty of benches on which to relax, too.
