Shining Sea Bikeway

Once a former Cape Cod rail trail, The Shining Sea Bikeway traverses the coastline from the center of Falmouth to the historic, seaside fishing village of Woods Hole. The bikeway was named for the line, ‘From Sea to Shining Sea’ in the patriotic poem, ‘America the Beautiful’ written by Falmouth native, Katharine Lee Bates. Join brothers, Ben and Jeremy on their coastal adventure as they cycle along salt marshes, barrier beaches and open water. Follow them as they find their own pathways; Come on Ben, let’s go off road and follow the inland trails, shouts Jeremy. Ride with them as they navigate the treacherous route out to Nobska Lighthouse. Their adventures continue from land to sea when they board their bicycles on the Steamship Authority with a destination to Martha’s Vineyard. Once they disembark from the ferry, more cycling terrain awaits them on this offshore island.
