Get a glimpse of an active cranberry bog and admire sparkling views of Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound on the 10.7-mile, paved Shining Sea Bikeway, which runs between North Falmouth and Woods Hole, Mass. This trail, less known than the longer Cape Cod Rail Trail, is named after “America the Beautiful,” written by Katharine Lee Bates, a Falmouth native. The salt marshes of West Falmouth are stunning, said Noah Pring, 23, who works at Corner Cycle bike shop, a two-minute ride from the trailhead. “You come out of the trees, and suddenly everything opens up,” he added, citing the wildlife, the sand dunes and “the ebb and flow of seawater rolling in from high tide.” At the turnaround in Woods Hole, you can stretch the day a little further by taking a 35-minute ferry ride to Martha’s Vineyard (adult fare, including bicycle: $32.50 round-trip).
