West Tisbury - Martha's Vineyard

West Tisbury Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary

Famous for Alley’s General Store, Martha's Vineyard's oldest continually-operating business, this diverse agricultural town boasts freshwater ponds and winding roads through tree-lined havens. Picture a white church nestled on a dirt road with weathered wood mill houses and farms welcoming you to this laid-back community, where you are likely to find a farm stand next to a mailbox operating on the honor system.

Some of the island’s finest equestrian estates are located in this community, with many displaying their impressive stallions at the annual Livestock Show and Agricultural Fair at the Ag Hall. Stretching towards Vineyard Haven, West Tisbury’s North Shore beaches offer sweeping Vineyard Sound views.

Cedar Tree Neck invites exploration with its vast hiking trails and access to the North Shore. Or choose to head to the South Shore and take advantage of the miles of bike trails, bird watching, hiking and water exploration through Long Point Beach and the Wildlife Refuge. This town is an outdoor-enthusiast’s haven offering wonderful summer rentals ranging from inland traditional post & beam to contemporary beach cottages and luxury retreats and waterfront estates.
