You land on a grass strip and taxi to the restaurant to get your scallops and burgers (which are so friggin' good people come here to this quiet beach for them) and you taxi over to the beach, tie down, and spend a day of fun in the sun. Aces all around. Amazing scene. Do it!

While I sat on the beach with my friend our husbands went over to Katama Airfield. When they returned we found out they went for a ride on a WWII prop plane, flew over the beach and saw us, and had an amazing view of the island! I wonder if I would have gone????

Any ride you want to take can happen there, from single engine, gliders, and sliders! It is very laid back and close to Winnetu

We stay in Hyannis, for cheaper accomodation costs during high season, fly in to Katama, enjoy a meal on at the Right Fork diner, and then hop on the bus. The bus stop is right across the street and costs $1 to Edgartown. If you have folding bikes, this is a general aviation paradise, as there are bike paths everywhere.... More
