Martha's Vineyard, MA
Reasons to vacation on Martha’s Vineyard are plentiful; breathtaking beaches, surfing, kayaking the inland ponds, sailing Vineyard Sound, historic lighthouses, doing the “Jaws” tour, (over)indulging at one of the many farm-to-table restaurants, celebrity spotting or simply enjoying one of the best places to stay in New England. But one reason to visit Martha’s Vineyard that […]
The English have always shown a prowess and, dare I say, preference for sports and pursuits that involve sitting down. Whether it be cycling, sailing, car racing, horse-riding, chess, star-gazing, beer drinking or my personal favorite kayaking. There are many great kayaking locations on Martha’s Vineyard and if you rent through Island Spirit Kayaking they […]
One of our favorite Martha’s Vineyard hikes to escape to in the height of summer is the Brickyard Trail at Menemsha Hills Reservation in Chilmark. The Menemsha Hills reservation is found on North Road just after Tabor House Road on the right (if you are heading up island towards Menemsha). There is plenty of parking […]

It is an 84 acre MV Land Bank property with a trail head located directly on State Road between the “Down-Island” turning on to Lambert’s Cove Road and the Scottish Bakehouse (on the left hand side […]
A great Martha’s Vineyard experience for your next Martha’s Vineyard vacation is Stand-Up paddle boarding (SUP) so I was duty bound to dive in head first, or not, and try it out for you. This day out on one of Martha’s Vineyard most beautiful water features did happen and no stunt doubles were used at […]
Martha’s Vineyard is a treasure trove of off the beaten track gems that can add some adventure to your island vacation. One great bit of local Martha’s Vineyard knowledge is a hidden location for kayakers to easily put their kayaks into Lake Tashmoo. Tucked away down a long dirt road on the western side of […]
Chappaquiddick, or simply “Chappy” in the local vernacular, is an island (sometimes) at the eastern end of Martha’s Vineyard. It is connected to the rest of Martha’s Vineyard (sometimes) via the barrier beach at Norton Point. This barrier gets breached by the sea during big storms every 30 years or so and Chappy is then […]
