Mad Martha's

Tourists and locals alike are so mad for Mad Martha’s that the line stretches out the door till closing time each night. Given this shop’s flavors, which range from peppermint to Lotsa Dough to Snickers, it’s no wonder why.

Book a tee time!

Alchemy Restaurant

Creative New American fare in Edgartown. You will need to make reservations for dinner in advance.

The Port Hunter

The Black Dog Tavern

A great place for breakfast (the panckaes are a must), lunch, or dinner. And don’t forget to grab a shirt before you leave.

Nancy's Restaurant

Nancy's snack bar is a great place to grab a casual lunch or dinner with an awesome view of the Oak Bluffs Harbor. After you order your lobster roll at the counter (Hillary's favorite), grab a Dirty Banana from the drink hut while you wait for your food.

The Flying Horses Carousel

Built in 1876, the Flying Horses Carousel is the oldest operating platform carousel in the country. The hand-painted horses, housed in a big red barn, have been carefully preserved; most of the original steeds still have horse-hair manes and tails. Kids — and the young at heart — love to ride this carousel. Riders can also play the brass ring game. Collect as many rings as you can as you ride by the metal ring dispenser — one dispenser is placed within reach of the outside row and another in reach of the inside row. The lucky rider who catches the brass ring scores a free ride.

Oak Bluffs Campground & Tabernacle

Drive or ride a bike into Oak Bluffs. Formerly known as Cottage City, the winding streets and footpaths of Oak Bluffs are lined with unique and whimsical Gingerbread Houses.

Gay Head Cliffs

It's worth the drive up-island from Edgartown. Walk the beach and take in the immense beauty of the clay cliffs that meet the sea on the Western tip of Martha's Vineyard.

The Seafood Shanty
