It is easy to stay fit on a beach vacation. Just walking on the sand is more difficult than a regular walk, and if you run on the beach, you work even harder.
If, like me, you don't swim, you can run in the waves, rent a kayak or bike. Or all of the above.
We biked a lot around Martha's Vineyard, to justify the bike schlep. We have to put a bike rack on our rental car, and pay extra for bikes on the ferry, all to enjoy the flat, paved Martha's Vineyard bike paths.
It was worth it.
The wide paths can easily accommodate 3 across, so if you are riding with your family, you can stay together - and let someone going the other way pass.
Drivers on the island were almost universally respectful. Only one driver, on a cell phone, pulled out without looking to cross the path. But there was plenty of room and we felt very safe.
