Things To Do
Jaws Bridge
Stop by the Jaws Bridge, known locally as 'Second Bridge' or 'Big Bridge,' and you'll see it's typically packed with kids of all ages. No real or mechanical sharks there, so feel free to take the plunge; the Atlantic Ocean water is the warmest it will be all year in September! Need more to get your full 'Jaws' fix?

Aquinnah Cliffs Overlook
Aquinnah is a center of Wampanoag culture, and there are few places on the Vineyard where you can find more stunning views than at the Aquinnah Cliffs overlook and the iconic Gay Head Lighthouse. It's a bit of a drive, but worth it to see the epic clay cliffs, which were carved by glaciers.
Farm Neck Golf Club
For(e) our golf lovers, if you have your clubs and want to play one of the best courses in New England, be sure to tee it up at Farmneck Golf Club! A favorite among island locals, visiting celebrities as well as Sam & Emma!
Flying Horses Carousel
The Flying Horses is America's oldest operating carousel and was a favorite summer activity during the bride's childhood. Whether you take a ride or just a look, the Flying Horses is a must-see!
Donovan's Reef at Nancy's
Don't leave MV without stopping by Nancy's for a dirty banana frozen cocktail from Donovan's Reef! Looking for something zero-proof? We recommend a non-alcoholic piña colada or some onion rings!
Bad Martha Farmer's Brewery
Stop by Bad Martha for a mid-bike ride or post-beach beer! Try Sam's pick - the Vineyard Summer Ale, or Emma's pick - the Island IPA.
Menemsha Hill
If you have some extra time, try this easy hike to the beach (and the second-highest point on the island) in the up-island town of Chilmark! Follow it up with a chowder from the Galley or some mac bites from the Bite at Menemsha.
Menemsha Galley
The Galley was a staple stop on the annual bike ride around the Vineyard that Emma and her mom took every summer! The chowder was a favorite of Emma's late grandmother and on a clear day you can take in views of the nearby Elizabeth islands while you enjoy it. If you have a free evening, stick around for one of the best sunset views on the island!
