Things To Do

Flying Horses Carousel

The Flying Horses Carousel is the oldest operating platform carousel in the United States and must-do favorite for families! Catch the brass ring and win a free ride.

The Charlotte Inn

Charming inn from a bygone era. Upscale dining-if you go, have a warmup beverage in the salon near the fireplace!

State Road

Chilmark General Store

7aFoods

Fantastic day-time spot for lunch sandwiches-try the Liz Lemon or the tuna melt!

Rockfish

Offshore Ale Co

Great brewery spot for lunch or dinner!

The Black Dog Tavern

Original tavern of the logo you'll see everywhere.

ArtCliff Diner

Staple Vineyard spot for breakfast and lunch in Vineyard Haven (no reservations).

The Arcade in Oak Bluffs

Arcade for kids and adults alike!

Larsen's Fish Market

Grab a lobster/raw bar goodies and eat on the deck or nearby beach. BYOB but pay attention to closing hours if you're having dinner!

Nomans

Large indoor/outdoor venue with yard games and solid food.

Scottish Bakehouse

Great for breakfast and lunch!

Lambert's Cove Beach

Open to the public after 9/15. Park in the lot and just head straight down the path (5 min walk).

Aquinnah Public Beach

Ample parking before a lengthier trail (10 min) to the beach. Of note, this is accessible from the wedding venue and is the beach where we got engaged! Warning for kids: this beach is clothing optional if you walk significantly far north (enough so that the initial landing area and the first 10 or so min of walking from the trail is a regular public beach).

Menemsha Public Beach

Adjacent to two great lobster shacks (check hours before you go)
