Martha's Vineyard Beach Travel Tips

By Sarah White

  • Lighthouse Beach (also known as Norton's Point) is the island's top spot at sunset for breathtaking views of Chappaquiddick (Chappy, to locals) and Cape Pogue. Check out the calendar-worthy tableau of boats pulling into Edgartown Harbor, then stick around—it's a fine spot for stargazing, too.
  • Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary, open year-round, is just one parcel of the 2,200 acres of island land held in trust by the Sheriff's Meadow Foundation. Several walking and biking trails lead past bogs, brooks, beaches, cliffs, and a profusion of plant life. Keep walking, and you'll eventually reach a bluff overlooking Vineyard Sound and the Elizabeth Islands.
  • If you're up for some nightlife, Oak Bluffs, one of the only "wet" towns on the island, is your destination. Try the Offshore Ale Co., a casual brewpub with a wood-fired pizza oven.
  • For a corny day out, visit the FARM Institute in Edgartown and get lost in a corn maze. Two levels, beginner and advanced, guarantee a true challenge. And it's all for a good cause—entrance fees ($10 adults, $5 kids) go toward the Institute's educational projects.
