The Islands (Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket)
Getting there is only the beginning! Surrounded by the sea and isolated from the mainland, islands are special places unto themselves. Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket beckon with their unique nature.
Explore
- In Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard, Felix Neck’s four miles of trails through woodlands, meadows, ponds, salt marsh, and along shorelines allow for exploration, discovery, and quiet contemplation.
- On Nantucket, Sesachacha Heathlands contains fine examples of coastal heathland and sandplain grassland, two of the state’s rarest habitats.
Get On The Water
- Uncover the story of Sengekontacket Pond’s people, places, history, and wildlife with Felix Neck’s self-guided kayak quest or paddle with our naturalists for a guided kayak adventure.
