Norton Point Beach

This ever-changing environment still provides an important habitat for nesting shorebirds, and a sporting challenge for the fishermen who surfcast from this popular site.

Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary

This 350-acre sanctuary is home to 100 species of birds, including cormorants and ospreys, and other wildlife. Follow one of the six well-marked trails for views of all the island's ecosystems: marshland, ponds, woods and grasslands.

Beautiful trails that have been re-routed one way for safety during Covid-19. We were warned it would be buggy and were offered bug spray and some details on the trail. It wasn’t buggy by the water and we enjoyed the sandy paths. One pond had several enormous swans. Near the end, we were pleasantly surprised by a labyrinth that we all walked through.

Katama Beach (South Beach)

Jump the waves or ride the great surf on the Atlantic Ocean side of this three-mile barrier beach, or enjoy a more relaxed pace on the tranquil Katama Bay side, a protected salt pond with lovely views of the bay. Katama is the largest public beach on the island.

Lovely beach! Great access, plenty of parking and portapotties - excellent setup. The wave action is strong; not for the faint of heart. Strongly suggest to go a low tide; beach space becomes cramped at high tide. All in all a great experience.

Nice sand - soft and not rough. Nice waves! Everyone was mindful of social distancing. There is not place to buy food - so pre plan.

Enter a secluded world of designed Japanese elegance in this garden environment of exotic and native plantings that encircle a serene pond.

Reviewed By cjonesbos - Boston, United States

We enjoyed visiting the Japanese gardens on our first trip to Chappaquiddick. Our kids loved seeing the turtles in the pond—our main downside was getting eaten by mosquitoes.
