Martha's Vineyard is an island located to the south of Cape Cod. It is a popular summer getaway for the very wealthy and many of the homes on the island are vacation rentals and summer homes, although a few people call Martha’s Vineyard home all year round. The island is primarily a destination where people go to relax and enjoy the beaches and surrounding areas, however the towns do offer a few recreational options.
A small number of boutique shops dot the streets. Visitors can tour the connected Chappaquiddick Island and its lighthouse. The Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse offers weekly entertainment as does the popular film festival. To reach Martha's Vineyard you will need to catch a ferry at Woods Hole. In the summer, a ferry reservation is a must.
