Island vacations call for cruising around town or riding to the beach on your bicycle. We love to tour Martha's Vineyard on two wheels—none of that pesky traffic or troublesome parking to deal with. Bike over to the brewery or take the family out for a spin on some of the island's 40 miles of bike paths. Whether you bring your bicycle with you or need to rent one when you arrive in Oak Bluffs, we've got your recommendations for the best biking on Martha's Vineyard.
Our Top Recommendations for Biking on Martha's Vineyard
Anderson's Bicycle Rentals | Circuit Ave. Ext. Oaks Bluffs | (508) 693-9346
Located right by the ferry terminals, Anderson's has bikes of all sizes to rent for the day or the week. Most of their bikes are hybrids, meaning they can handle road riding, light off-roading, and any sandy patches you might encounter on the shared use paths. Best of all, the bike shop is located within walking distance of our Oak Bluffs boutique hotel Summercamp or you can have them delivered to the hotel for no extra charge.
Beach Road Path
Take the six-mile shared use path from Oak Bluffs to Edgartown for some of the best biking on Martha's Vineyard. Winding on a narrow spit between Sengekontacket Pond and the sound, this path offers beautiful water views. Return to Oak Bluffs the way you came or make it a longer loop by using the bike paths that run alongside Edgartown-Vineyard Haven and County Roads.
West Chop Loop in Vineyard Haven
Vineyard Haven is a short three miles from Oak Bluffs and from there you can ride out to the West Chop Lighthouse via a four-mile loop. Take Beach Road to Vineyard Haven and then head down Main Street out to the lighthouse for a scenic vista. Head back to town on the same road or take Franklin Street to cover some new ground.
