4. Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 62 reviews
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.
5. Katama Beach (South Beach)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 74 reviews
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.

7. Edgartown Lighthouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 590 reviews
The Martha's Vineyard Museum is privileged to be the steward of three of the Island's lighthouses. The East Chop, Edgartown, and Gay Head lighthouses are not only historic reminders of a bygone age, but are working beacons that still send a light out into the night. Beyond their important functional role, these structures also offer visitors spectacular views of the breathtaking beauty of Vineyard Sound, the simple elegance of Edgartown Harbor & Chappaquiddick, and the majestic cliffs of Aquinnah. Major renovations completed in 2007, including installation of a staircase to the lantern room, allow the interior of the Edgartown Light to be open to visitors. A lighthouse keeper will be available and the doors will be open during designated hours. Parking is available, but limited, on North Water Street. The Vineyard Transit Authority (VTA) busses drop off on Church Street in Edgartown. It is a 5-10 minute walk to the lighthouse from this location.

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