Where Is The Best Place To Stay On Martha’s Vineyard? There are few places in the USA of more natural beauty than Martha’s Vineyard. To sit on one of its many pristine beaches listening to the crashing sound of the breaking waves is a soul enriching experience; to sail out of Vineyard Haven or Edgartown […]
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 […]
Since the 1950’s it has been a holiday tradition for many Martha’s Vineyard locals to purchase their Christmas trees from a somewhat surprising source. They head out with family in tow to select the perfect tree not from a nursery, store or garden center but instead to get a “Legion Pumper” Christmas tree from Tisbury […]

Tisbury Meadow Preserve in Vineyard Haven is a wonderfully pristine “Down-Island” hiking trail that is hidden in plain sight. 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 […]
The recent emergence of the oyster farming industry on Martha’s Vineyard can be traced back to the Martha’s Vineyard Private Aquaculture Initiative in 1995. With this money and the work of fishermen like Jack Blake, who developed the floating shellfish hatchery/nursery, there has been a solid growth in the number of farms across the island. […]
The biggest question our arriving guests ask us, well right after “where’s the nearest beach?” and “what does Nobnocket mean?” is “can you recommend a seafood restaurant?” Sure Martha’s Vineyard has a couple of truly awesome seafood markets; Net Result, Larsen’s, The Fish House and Menemsha Fish Market but astonishingly no actual seafood restaurant.
