Ferry to the Islands
If you love the idea of visiting Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket but dread the thought of crawling along Route 6 or the Mid-Cape Highway just to reach a ferry, sailing from the South Coast is your perfect alternative. Departing right from historic New Bedford, the seasonal high-speed catamaran gets you to the island quickly, easily, and stress-free.

Whether you are visiting for a weekend or lucky enough to call Buzzards Bay home, the South Coast is packed with hidden gems and legendary landmarks. From monumental maritime history and world-class museums to tranquil coastal trails and family-friendly wildlife encounters, there is an adventure waiting around every bend. Pack your sunscreen, grab your walking shoes, and dive into the best things to see, do, and experience along the bay!
