Highly Recommended! A fun and convenient transportation option — for those guests who choose to visit the Island without an automobile. We offer an easy-to-use, highly recommended, on-Island pick-up and drop-off service to/from our Resort — connecting with the "Island Queen" Ferry from Falmouth, Mass. The crossing time takes only 35 minutes (the shortest crossing to the Island)!

Falmouth is centrally located on the mainland and the Island Queen supplies convenient parking within walking distance to the dock. The boat line has guaranteed Winnetu Oceanside Resort guests parking in their lots (i.e., a special benefit), so long as a Winnetu voucher is shown to the parking attendant. Mainland parking fees are currently $15.00 per day.

To be eligible for this V.I.P. Ferry/Transfer Service, Winnetu guests must pre-reserve — in advance of their Island arrival — by ordering their voucher through this Online Concierge Page on our website. Once you do, all your transportation issues will be taken care of for you. We will book your ferry passage, pick you up at the Oak Bluffs ferry wharf and provide you, your luggage and bicycle with a transfer to-and-from our Resort.

Please Note: Check-in at the Winnetu is 4:00 p.m. and checkout is at 10:00 a.m. If you plan on arriving earlier, or departing later, the Front Desk will be happy to store your luggage, so that you may enjoy the beach or our other facilities.

New Trip…Exclusively for Winnetu Guests! What makes Norton Point Beach such a special place? Participate in this enjoyable trip and you'll find out the answer. This two-and-a-half mile long strip of sand and dunes served as a vital link between Martha's Vineyard and Chappaquiddick Island until 2007, when a major ocean storm caused a "breach" in the barrier beach. However, shorebirds still nest in this dynamic environment and fishermen find the breach an intriguing challenge.

Come and learn more about what the breach means for the Island's Shore South and Edgartown Bay. As an added bonus, you may also catch a glimpse of a seal or two!

This exclusive charter tour is being offered for Winnetu Oceanside Resort guests only. The Trustees of Reservations will provide direct round-trip transportation from our Winnetu Garden Pavilion.
