Details:

  • The boat ride from Woods Hole to Penikese Island takes about 1 hour.

  • The walking trails comprise 1-2 miles of walking on the island.

  • Bring your own lunch, snacks, and water.

  • Dress appropriately for the weather. Comfortable walking shoes for lumpy, uneven terrain are a must. A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen is recommended in warm weather. There are very few trees and thus little shade on Penikese. Bring a layer as it is often cooler offshore than on the mainland.

  • Parking and meeting point will be at the Penikese Shore Office, located at 565 Woods Hole Road, Woods Hole, MA 02543.
