Visiting Martha's Vineyard

Renowned for its well-preserved natural beauty, historic whaling towns and idyllic island atmosphere, Martha’s Vineyard is a coveted island destination. Like all islands, getting to “the Vineyard” requires a bit more effort than your average seaside escape, but it’s well worth it. Located six miles south of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, Martha’s Vineyard is only accessible via ferry or air—there are no bridges or tunnels. However, there are several ferry options depending on the time of year and if you plan to bring a car or not. To help you determine your best option for getting to Martha’s Vineyard, we comprised a travel guide.

At night on Martha’s Vineyard, you have two options: relax at your vacation rental or go out for food and drinks. Many people come to Martha’s Vineyard for its reprieve from the daily hustle and bustle of life, so the island doesn’t offer much in the way of nightclubs, but there’s still plenty to do. 

Martha’s Vineyard is the ideal family vacation destination, providing a place to relax as well as many activities and attractions for the whole family.
