Biking from Falmouth to WHOI Clark Lab on the Quissett Campus.
Please use the Shinning Sea Bike Path. A map can be found here:https://www.savebuzzardsbay.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/map_shining-sea-bikeway.pdf
WHOI is approximately 2 miles from Falmouth along the paved picturesque old railroad bed.
Ride the bike path towards Woods Hole. After crossing Surf Drive, the bike path will go along a beach on the left. As the bike path begins to move away from the beach there will be a utility shed with a sea mural and a bench on the right. Behind the bench is a dirt/gravel path. Take this path and cross over Oyster Pond Road (Surf Drive) to the WHOI Ring Road. Follow the drive and keep left after the volleyball court. Pass several containers on the left where you will find the first bike rack and a paved path going uphill. At the top of the hill is the second bike rack. You can enter the side doors of Clark to the right. The third bike rack can be found by staying on the paved road to the right and following it around to the covered front entrance of Clark.
Please do not use Woods Hole Road as is can be dangerous due to traffic, car speeds, a winding road with no shoulder and a high curb. Another map of the bike path on WHOI campus is available here.
If you are interested in renting a bike for the week, please contact Jessica Kozik (jkozik@whoi.edu) directly.
