Tourist Attractions in Martha's Vineyard

Excellent shops, restaurants, and a bewitching coastline dotted with beautiful harbor and white sandy beaches are only a few of the attractions that make Vineyard a tourist's Haven. The warmth of its local people is perhaps the only thing that surpasses its peerless natural beauty. A beautiful island town with several scenic beaches and colorful exotic wildlife, It seems that everything on the island of Martha's Vineyard is a master stroke of Nature.

The esoteric charm of the island is best exhibited by the magic of many scenic beaches located here. The entire coastal stretch of the island is dotted with 19 beaches in all. These vary from protected, shallow, clear-water stretches fringing the northern and eastern limits of the Island to rocky beaches on the south side, ideal for surfing. However all the beaches on the island are not open to the public and are reserved for summer homeowners and year-round residents. The town beaches can be used after obtaining a beach permit from the town hall in the local community along with a parking permit. The public beaches include
