Martha's Vineyard at a Glance
Located just 7 mi (11 km) south of Cape
Cod lies the year-round island destination of Martha's Vineyard. Each town
on the island offers an individual charm and makes an ideal home base when seeking
a relaxing or recreation-filled vacation. Vineyard
Haven is the island's major entry point, receiving ferries from Woods
Hole and New
Bedford, Massachusetts.
As the name suggests, Martha's Vineyard is home to numerous wineries, including
the popular Chicama
Vineyard located in West
Tisbury. The town of Oak
Bluffs is a trendy destination that is host to the Oak
Bluffs Harbor Festival, a family-friendly event that occurs in June. Located
on the southeastern side of the island, Edgartown
boasts numerous homes built in the Greek Revival style that are reminiscent of
the once prosperous whaling industry. The Aquinnah
Cliff and Lighthouse,
located on the southwesternmost tip of the island, is a popular attraction that
has great historic significance.
