JAWS & MARTHA'S VINEYARD
JAWS is synonymous with Martha’s Vineyard—the iconic backdrop that brought Spielberg’s classic to life. Today, the Island continues to welcome film buffs and JAWS "finatics" from around the world to experience the magic firsthand. Visitors can explore the original filming locations year-round through guided tours, or chart their own course with the SetJetters app and our Film Tourism Guide.
Stay tuned for Amity Week celebrations with the Edgartown Board of Trade in 2026, when we’ll once again honor the film that made Martha’s Vineyard a cinematic legend.
