Farm Pond

Highlight • Lake

Farm Pond looks more like a lake from the bike path with how big it is. You also get a pretty good view of the surrounding wetlands and the ocean on the other side of the highway from here.

Beach

8.24 km

Edgartown is a wonderful historic town with many well-preserved houses. Today, the harbour hosts yachting events although it was once a major whaling port. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to explore around the pretty centre.

Joseph Sylvia State Beach

Highlight • Beach

With soft, golden sand and shallow water, Joseph Sylvia State Beach is a popular hangout spot on Martha's Vineyard. The beach extends 5 miles (8 km) between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. It's public and not privately owned like many of the island's beaches.

On one side, the Atlantic Ocean glistens into the horizon and on the other, Cow Bay stretches around the coast.

It's popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing when the weather is right.

Harts Harbor

Highlight • Lake

Sandwiched between Joseph Sylvia State Beach and the Felix Neck Conservation Area, Harts Harbor is a large body of water. It's actually an extension of Sengekontacket Pond and is nice to look at as you ride along the bike path.
