Whaling port when the ships migrated from Nantucket, now the migration is of a different kind. It's mostly people from the mainland seeking memorable Martha’s Vineyard vacations.
The major towns to visit on your Martha’s Vineyard vacations are Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, and Edgartown.All these towns are on the northeast side of the island.
Here’s a map of the Martha’s Vineyard to help you get oriented and follow along as I describe areas and places waiting for your trip...
At 20-miles long, and 10-miles wide it’s the largest island in New England, yet it's small enough to tour and explore in a week. Day-trippers or a weekend jaunt are a little more harried.
Here’s a question I get asked by friends all the time… “Can you really see Martha’s Vineyard in one day?”
The answer is both yes and no.
Yes.. you can take the short ferry ride from Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven. And then you can rent a bike or a moped, and race around the island on a whirlwind tour seeing all the high points and towns.
Yes... you can rush around breathless doing all this touring... searching out restaurants... and even take a dip in the ocean.
And all the while keeping one eye on your watch so you don’t get stranded and miss your ferry back…
… but that’s not really what Martha’s Vineyard vacations are all about.
Plan to spend a few days or better still a week if you can, exploring the delights of this most picturesque of islands.
