4.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have!, January 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Exploring Martha's Vineyard by Bike, Foot, and Kayak, 2nd (Paperback)

I've been vacationing on the Vineyard for about a decade - but only last year picked up this great book, packed with terrific suggestions on places to go to see the "real" Vineyard -- on foot, on bike and even on kayak. The format is easy to follow - providing local history, step-by-step directions, and details on what you'll see along the way, such as the types of flowers, birds and trees. There seems to be a wide variety of activities (I didn't try any of the kayaking options), geared to people of all ages and fitness levels. The book is very well-researched, and since the summer I've recommended it to many Vineyard residents as well as to vacationers - there's something in it for everyone. I did found it helpful to tear out pages of interest and bring them with me, as the book is a sizable one. But I will be using it for years and years.

This is a gem of a book. Have been a seasonal resident here for over 25 years and can tell you that this guide is accurate, up to date, and very well researched. Belongs in every Vineyard house.
