If you’re looking for somewhere new to explore on the coast, leave the beach crowds behind and explore a salt marsh! Search out crabs scuttling between waving green grasses, dig for quahogs, watch for birds, and kayak — or snorkel — waters swarming with fish big and small.
Discover a peaceful and windswept natural paradise of rocky beaches, rolling hills, and rich birdwatching opportunities on Penikese Island. Situated just north of Cuttyhunk in the Elizabeth Islands chain, this wildlife sanctuary offers a day of exploring the remote island’s trails, shorelines, and pristine waters, all set against a beautiful backdrop of Buzzards Bay.
