Martha's Vineyard is an island in Massachusetts in the Atlantic, just south of Cape Cod. Martha’s Vineyard has been a New England summer destination for centuries, with its charming harbor towns, historic lighthouses, sandy beaches, and scenic farmland. The island can be accessed only by boat or air. The village of Vineyard Haven is a ferry port and the island's commercial hub. Oak Bluffs village is famous for picturesque Carpenter Gothic cottages and a historic carousel.

While the beaches are the main tourist draw in the summer, it is the laidback vibe, fresh seafood, and diverse cultural events that bring visitors year round. Map
