Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Tour and Explore Martha's Vineyard.
60~100 Miles
Drive around the island and explore the sites.
See the attractions on the following pages or the
web site.
• Martha's Vineyard: This is an island
of six towns and 100 sq. miles. Up
island is the rustic western end. The
eastern end has the towns of
Vineyard Haven, the old whaling port
of Edgartown and the camp-meeting
resort of Oak Bluffs. Except for Oak
Bluffs and Edgartown the Vineyard is
“dry”. It is a place of an air of the
Victorian in its vacation homes and
the boardwalk. There are lots of
shops and restaurants as well.
Martha's Vineyard Transit Authority
offers 1, 3 and 7 day passes to all the
towns on the island available at the
Edgartown Visitors Center or the
Steamship Authority Terminals.

On The Road
The Jewel of New England sits a mere 5 miles off the
southern coast of Massachusetts. With a rich history,
thriving culture, and miles of seemingly endless beaches,
it’s no question why Martha’s Vineyard is such a popular
destination. It’s hard to list them all, but MVOL presents
this handy summary of the major island attractions.
Beaches:
“It’s only an Island when you view it from the water,” goes
the saying from Jaws’ Chief Brody, and when you’re coming
over on the ferry you’ll surely notice the miles of shoreline. The beaches are great, water temperatures usually peak in
August. Unfortunately not all of the shoreline is public. Some up-island beaches are exclusively for town residents & guests, others are completely off limits. But, there
are plenty of public beaches for your enjoyment. Click here for a comprehensive list / map of island beaches.
Lighthouses:
The Gay Head & East Chop Lighthouses recently turned
150 years old and 130 years old, respectively. These
represent two of a total of five lighthouses scattered along
the Vineyard and Nantucket sounds. All are fully functional
and meticulously maintained. Tours are available. For
more information, visiting the Martha's Vineyard Museum.
Gingerbread Cottages:
Nestled within the heart of Oak Bluffs are over 180 small
cottages that make up the “Campgrounds.” Evolved from
tents & mail-order catalogues, these cottages represent a
completely different era and are preserved by private
owners and the Martha’s Vineyard Campmeeting
Association. For information regarding the Martha's
Vineyard Campmeeting Association call 508-693-0525 or visit www.mvcma.org.
Flying Horses:
The oldest operating carousel in the country, flying horses represents
the birth of Martha’s Vineyard as a tourist destination. Originally built
in Coney Island in 1876, the horses made the trip to Martha’s
Vineyard in 1884 and have been a permanent fixture since. The
property is now owned and managed by the Martha’s Vineyard
Preservation Trust. For more information click here:
Gay Head:
Originally referred to as “the gaily-colored head of the island” by
sailors, Gay Head (Aquinnah) is the western-most town on Martha’s
Vineyard rightly famous for its National Landmark lighthouse and
multi-colored clay cliffs. A trip to the cliffs is surely a treat and on good days, views of the Elizabeth Islands
(including Cuttyhunk) and towns as far away as Newport, Rhode Island are visible to the naked eye. Map It>

Mytoi Garden
Mytoi Garden:
This wonderfully designed Japanese-Style garden is peacefully located within the pine forest of Chappaquiddick. Walking through the property is a vacation within your vacation and is not to be missed. The Mytoi Garden is
easy to reach when on bike-friendly Chappaquiddick. For more information click here or contact 508-627-7689.
Colonial Edgartown:
It is the seat of Dukes County and the largest town on Martha’s Vineyard. Get lost on its picturesque streets
and drift away to the age of Whaling Captains & nautical legends. Stand at the steps and marvel the dominating
Whaling Church, shop unique boutiques and dine on world class cuisine. Edgartown has it all.
Polly Hill Arboretum:
This year-round arboretum is the work of renowned horticulturalist Polly Hill. Sitting on over twenty acres of
land, the arboretum is home to nearly 1700 different types
of plants including the famous “North Tisbury Azalea.” Polly Hill is open year round. For more information click
here. 508-693-9426
Up-Island Stonewalls:
A trip up-island to Chilmark and Aquinnah is a must and
the scenery sells itself. Escape the crowds and take a trip
along North, Middle, or South Roads through West Tisbury
and Chilmark and take in all the rural delights and perhaps
the finest scenery in New England. The boundary-marking
stonewalls, rolling hills and sea views will no doubt take
your breath away.
Martha’s Vineyard Land banks & Open Spaces:
Martha’s Vineyard is not only a destination for shopping & dining. In fact, the island is an outdoor enthusiast’s
paradise. Land banks boast miles of trails, kayaking ponds and room for your four-legged friends to roam. For
more information click here. (508) 627-7141
