Overview
The Shining Sea Bikeway is one of life's few sure things. This bike path has been caressed by the community. Footpaths lead off the smooth pavement to neighboring homes. Memorial benches line the grass shoulders. Joggers, dog walkers, parents with strollers, skaters and cyclists smile and wave to one another.
Features
To pass the time waiting for the ferry to Martha's Vineyard, you can rent a bike from Woods Hole Cycle. The path cuts through the Massachusetts Steamship Authority's parking lot by Little Harbor before heading back to Falmouth. Several shops in Falmouth also rent bikes. Try Corner Cycles, right on Route 28, about a half-mile before the trailhead.
