short hike but worth it
& don't miss jumping off the Jaws bridge. it is conveniently along the protected paved bike path, at approx. 267-125 Seaview Ave, Edgartown, MA 02539 (& next to State Beach, good public beach w/ free parking)

With a very low chance of this (only 0.5mi shorter)
Hope Katama/South Beach meet our expectations. And good list of places to eat. This should become an official "Cycling on Martha's Vineyard" thread
