We have been fortunate to have preserved areas of the Vineyard for conservation and passive recreation. We encourage you to get out of your car and see the beauty of Martha's Vineyard on foot or by bicycle. You can start by leaving your car in one of the many ferry parking lots on the mainland and come over on foot. There are also shuttles to South Beach from downtown Edgartown and shuttles making constant circuits within the towns of Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, and Edgartown. B USES Comprehensive Island-wide buss service is available in and between all six Island towns throughout the peak summer season and shoulder months.
Limited service is provided in the off-season.
The bicycle is an ideal vehicle for the Vineyard. Most of our roads are level and the scenery makes the ride that much easier. Biking is also a great way to see the Vineyard up-close and personal. You can walk your bikes onto the ferries for a modest fee. Bike rentals are available by the day or week in Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, and Edgartown.
