Transportation Info

If you are traveling by car, you need to go to Woods Hole to board the ferry. Woods Hole is adjacent to Falmouth on the “heel” of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Information and schedules are available at the Steamship Authority website. There are ferries available out of Quonset Point and out of New Bedford, MA. There are also passenger ferries out of Hyannis, MA and Falmouth, MA.

It is also easy to arrive by bus. The Peter Pan bus lines have a stop in Woods Hole, MA (the bus stop is the Steamship Authority ferry terminal). You then purchase your ferry tickets ($7.00 one-way) and board the ferry to either one of two ports on Martha’s Vineyard.

Once you arrive, you should come to the hotel. Those of you who are in employee housing will receive their housing assignments.

While on the Island, biking is a popular form of transportation. There are bike routes throughout most of the island on the major routes. There is public transportation, both cabs and buses. You can bring your own bike, or purchase second hand bikes from the local bicycle shops. Wal-Mart, another popular spot to purchase bikes, is just a short ferry ride to the mainland in the town of Falmouth.
