Biking

Shining Sea Bikeway. The wonderful Shining Sea Bikeway is almost 11 miles of paved bike path through four of Falmouth's villages, running from Woods Hole to North Falmouth. It follows the shore of Buzzards Bay, providing water views, and dips into oak and pine woods; a detour onto Church Street takes you to Nobska Light. A brochure is available at the trailheads. If you're taking your bike to Martha's Vineyard, park in one of Falmouth's Steamship Authority lots and ride to the ferry. Free shuttles from Falmouth to the Woods Hole ferry dock have bike carriers. There's also a parking area near Depot Avenue, on County Road at the other end. Falmouth, Massachusetts.
