The island of Martha's Vineyard, five miles off the coast of Cape Cod, is known for it's variety of beautiful land and seascapes, and the unique 'personalities' of its six towns. Unlike many seaside resorts areas, access and therefore crowds are limited. The Island has a commitment to natural preservation, with public access to many uninhabited and pristine environments.
There are opportunities for a full range of boating experiences, from day-trips aboard 'tall ships' to kayaking to jet-ski rentals. Public transportation is excellent, and there are many miles of paved bike paths.
Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, and Vineyard Haven offer a variety of shopping (no 'chain' stores) and dining out opportunities range from pizza and Chinese to gourmet restaurants in every town. (Sorry, no fast-food chains here).
