Reaching Martha's Vineyard can be accomplished by ferry or air. Ferries run out of Woods Hole, Falmouth, New Bedford, Hyannis and Quonset Point, Rhode Island. The ferry connects these destinations with either Oak Bluffs or Vineyard Haven. Airlines that operate service here include Cape Air, US Airways, and Jet Blue.
Once on the island, biking is a popular mode of transportation.
