Your Martha's Vineyard Adventure Awaits!

From shore to shore, our diverse Island offers unmatchable beauty and endless opportunities for fun and relaxation. Each season brings something for everyone, whether it's birdwatching in winter, the excitement of spring unfurling, summer beach days, or our glorious fall magic that seems to last forever. For more of what makes Martha's Vineyard so special, see our Bucket List on the last page of this guide.

Martha's Vineyard, just seven miles off the coast of Massachusetts but a world away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland, is composed of six charming towns, each with their own distinct personality. Whether you prefer walking into town to eat at one of our delicious restaurants in what's known as "down island", or relishing the quiet natural beauty of our pastoral "up island", you can find all the information you need to plan your visit in this guide.

Since 1925, the Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce has been championing the unique needs of our Island community, and the businesses listed in this guide are committed to making your trip an unforgettable experience. Come find out why so many people call Martha's Vineyard their "Happy Place"!
