Review:
There are many great things to do on Martha’s Vineyard , a small island off the south shore of Massachusetts, accessed by ferry from Cape Cod, New York or Rhode Island.
The year-round destination offers pristine beaches, fresh seafood and produce, outdoor activities and events.
There are 6 towns throughout the 100-square mile island, each with its own character and charm.
Aquinnah is home to the only federally recognized Native American tribe in Massachusetts, the Wampanoag. Chilmark offers nature preserves and rolling pastures. Edgartown is the island’s oldest European settlement, while West Tisbury retains its rural charm.
Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven are the island’s two bustling ferry port towns. Each offers shopping, dining, boat rentals, fishing charters and more.
