Shining Sea Bike Path |
|
The PathThe photos do not do this path justice. The path offers the diverse vistas of woods and beaches. Biking, walking, and roller blading are all popular on this path. The path is relatively flat and an easier trip for younger people or those looking for a leisurely stroll. We usually park at Locust Street where there is public (and free) parking and water fountains and an outhouse. WoodsholeThe path ends in Woodshole where you can hop a ferry to Martha's Vineyard or catch a bite to eat. We enjoy spending time at the Aquarium at Woodshole Oceanographic Institute for Marine Biology. It is a small aquarium, but interesting and has seal feedings in the morning and late afternoon. Cost of entry is a donation. |
Getting There
From the East
Take Route 28 through Falmouth from Mashpee and continue though the village where there is a stretch of grass and a few pubs and shops. The road splits, though both go to Locust Street. We take the left one, then turn left on to Locust and the parking is on the right.
From the North
Follow 28 from Bourne to Woodshole. Park at the Ferry Landing parking area. The trail is at the far end of the parking lot.
