Why you should go…

Martha's Vineyard is an island six miles off Cape Cod reachable only by ferry or small plane, its six towns ranging from the gingerbread cottages of Oak Bluffs to the working harbor of Menemsha and the clay cliffs of Aquinnah. The Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1925, runs a year-round Visitor Information Center in Vineyard Haven and publishes the island's official travel guide.
