Island Day Trip
Board one of the island ferries for a day trip to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket.
Stroll the cobblestone streets and browse the quaint shops, enjoy a home-brewed beer at Cisco Brewers, descend the stairs to beautiful Steps Beach, and walk along the boardwalk to visit Brant Point on Nantucket. Or, climb to the top of Gay Head Light and enjoy the striking views of the colorful Aquinnah Cliffs, jump off the iconic Jaws bridge, try to grab the golden ring at the antique Flying Horses Carousel, and shop along the main streets of Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. Both islands offer fabulous shopping, gorgeous beaches, delicious restaurants, and iconic island charm.
