Idyllic Martha's Vineyard is a wonderful island to visit during your Memorial Day weekend. The island is easy to reach by ferry (either with or without your car), and the long weekend will give you lots of time to explore all the attractions. First-time visitors will benefit from going on a private tour of the island to learn about its interesting history and to get inside tips on the best restaurants and attractions. You could also explore the 70-mile island at your own pace using local buses or a bicycle or scooter.

There are no less than five historic lighthouses to visit, miles and miles of pristine beaches for relaxation, and a long list of watersports for active visitors. Round off a perfect island day with a dinner or fresh lobster or fried clams.
