Warmer breezes begin a season filled with possibilities, which is why we’ll take you on a “tour” of some of the most special summer moments you can have on Martha’s Vineyard.
Best Beaches
The Gay Head Public Beach (Moshup Beach) in Aquinnah is like something out of a movie, with dramatic cliffs and rocks, and miles of rolling sand. Wherever you stay on the island, you can experience breathtaking ocean scenery. The northern and eastern sides of the island have shallow, serene water, while the south side offers great surf for those hoping to catch some waves. Check out some of our previous blogs and learn more about Lobsterville Beach, Menemsha Public Beach and Katana Beach, to name a few.
Sightseeing
If you enjoy taking photos, or simply enjoy taking in the scenery to get away from your daily grind, there’s nothing like the unspoiled island scenery. You can hike along nature trails and explore the many different species of wildlife. You can take a stroll along the shore, spotting lighthouses that the island is known for, and visiting the popular Edgartown harbor. You can also visit the famous colorful gingerbread houses, the U.S.’s oldest operating carousel, and take lots of photos from your trip!
Sampling the Local Flavor
Martha’s Vineyard offers many great places to dine out, from gourmet restaurants to casual eateries. You can find the most succulent lobster and seafood dishes, as well as a mouth-watering burger.
