Martha's Vineyard
"The Vineyard" as most call it, is approximately 7 miles off the coast of Massachusetts just south of Cape Cod. The island has 100 square miles of beautiful, serene landscapes.
The allure of Martha’s Vineyard is due to its unspoiled charm. With over 53 miles of shore-line and 42 miles of it are sandy beaches that vary from protected, shallow, clear-water stretches on the northern and eastern sides of the Island to expanses of rumbling surf along the south side of the Island.
There are no traffic lights, no fast food joints, no chain stores. Each of its five towns offers a one-of-a-kind experience and flavor. The geography offers a unique mix from farmland and rolling hills to forest to long, sandy beaches to the up-island cliffs.
The island offers something different for every season.
Each town is unique.
