Six Towns, One Island

Each town has its own day

The Vineyard is six towns, three down-island and three up-island, each with a different personality. You can do a long weekend by basing in one and visiting the others, or split a week across two.

Town

Oak Bluffs

Pastel gingerbread cottages, the Flying Horses Carousel, Inkwell Beach, and the busiest summer ferry dock. Best in the morning before Circuit Avenue fills up.

Town

Edgartown

White picket fences, sea captains’ houses, the lighthouse, and a two-minute ferry to Chappaquiddick. The polished town.

Town

Vineyard Haven (Tisbury)

The working ferry harbor, year-round Main Street with bookshops and bakeries, and a quieter morning coffee than Edgartown or Oak Bluffs.

Town

Aquinnah

The island’s westernmost town, Wampanoag tribal land, and home to the red clay cliffs and Gay Head Light.

Town

Chilmark & Menemsha

Stone walls, quiet roads, and a small working fishing harbor with the island’s most loved sunset.

Town

West Tisbury

Farm stands, Polly Hill Arboretum, the Saturday farmers’ market, and a real sense of the island’s rural heart.
