Towns of Martha's Vineyard
When someone mentions Martha’s Vineyard, I immediately think of sailboats and fishing boats dotting the harbors, a beautiful sunrise and sunset from sugar sand beaches, charming seaside villages, and colorful gingerbread houses all in a row. Only a 45 minute ferry ride from Cape Cod, the 23 mile long Vineyard is a whole world unto itself and every area has its own distinct personality.
Edgartown
Once a historic whaling port, Edgartown boasts white fenced 18th century houses, fine dining, exceptional art galleries along historic Main Street and North & South Water Streets.
Oak Bluffs
With its eclectic pastel historic cottages to unique shops and restaurants to the Flying Horses Carousel, Oak Bluffs is colorful and busy in the summer but utterly enchanting in the winter.
Vineyard Haven
Located in Tisbury, Vineyard Haven is the main port of entry to Martha's Vineyard. It is also known for The Vineyard Haven Harbor Cultural District which includes a large number of creative businesses including wooden shipbuilding, home goods, handcrafts, theater and more.
West Tisbury
Considered “up-island” along with Chilmark and Aquinnah, West Tisbury maintains its New England small village charm with a general store, white church, quaint post office and many farms.
Chilmark
Home to the authentic fishing village of Menemsha, Chilmark is known for its picturesque rolling hills overlooking the ocean, small farm stands on curving country roads, and the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival.
Aquinnah
Meaning “land beneath the hill”, the Aquinnah cliffs offer one of the most visited spots on the Vineyard. The clay-colored cliffs , beautiful beaches, and the Gay Head lighthouse offer spectacular views.
