Perched on the edge of Woods Hole Harbor, steps from the Martha's Vineyard ferry, the Woods Hole Inn is the perfect place to start your Cape Cod vacation.

The Woods Hole Inn is in the middle of everything, on the corner of Water and Luscombe in the heart of this busy village surrounded by water and packed with shops, waterfront restaurants, and fun things to do.

From here, hop the ferry to Martha's Vineyard for a fabulous day trip. Jump on a complimentary bike and ride the dedicated bike path past the beach looking over Vineyard Sound, into quaint Main Street, Falmouth and beyond. Charter a boat and fish some of the best waters in New England. Explore the deserted coves and beaches of the pristine Elizabeth Islands, a short boat ride away. Wander down to the harbor and watch the sail boats and marine research vessels come in under a real working drawbridge. Visit the (free!) aquarium or check out the submarine that first explored the Titanic. In summer, walk to several beaches for Gulf Stream swimming that rivals the Caribbean.

Enjoy eating out? Woods Hole is the place for you! Start with our gourmet continental breakfast in the sunny room overlooking the ferry terminal. Have a popover with your freshly-roasted coffee at one of the TWO coffee-houses next door. Wander down by the harbor for steamed lobster, raw oysters, real clam chowder and fresh squeezed juice cocktails. Watch the sunset over the harbor with a lobster taco and Cape Cod draft. Go on a world-class pub crawl from the Landfall to Quicks Hole to the Captain Kidd -- so close to the water you can dip your feet. On weekends, enjoy the scene with free street music, incredible film series, and late-night local bands.

There really is something for everyone in Woods Hole. Birders delight in sightings of egrets, Great Blue Heron and the enormous osprey that likely gave "Buzzards Bay" it's name. Artists and collectors enjoy the local galleries and ceramics studios of this committed eco-community. Scientists come for the world-class research and then come back year after year for the beaches and amazing water views. New Yorkers come for peace and quiet; Vermonters wander down for that urban feeling of a packed, busy village. We welcome travelers from all over the world with a smile and cool cup of lemonade.

We are an eco-destination. Come stay GREEN by the deep BLUE sea.
