Felix Neck is a sanctuary for
both people and wildlife, protecting
some of the Vineyard’s valuable
habitats, wildlife, and most
spectacular views. Four miles of
trails through woodlands, meadows,
ponds, salt marsh, and along
shorelines allow for exploration,
discovery, and quiet contemplation.
Look for nesting osprey, shorebirds,
winter waterfowl, and the resident
barn owls. Walk the shoreline
to find shells, crabs, snails, and
other marine life that make Felix
Neck and Sengekontacket Pond
their home.
This sanctuary has the following universally accessible facilities: Trails.
