Exploring Vineyard Haven & Edgartown: Martha's Vineyard Off-Season Gems

Описание: Join me on a perfect off-season day exploring two of Martha's Vineyard's most charming towns: Vineyard Haven and Edgartown! With the summer crowds gone, we dive into the island's authentic vibe—fewer tourists, better deals, and all the classic New England charm still shining.

We start in Vineyard Haven: ferry arrival tips (bring your car!), the iconic Black Dog Tavern for world-famous clam chowder, Main Street shopping (Vineyard Vines, Waterside Market, amazing sushi at Bar Nunn Makatos), a stay at the luxurious Mansion House hotel & spa, killer pizza at Bobby's, fresh pastries at Bobby Byrne's, and an in-depth visit to the incredible Martha's Vineyard Museum—complete with whaling history, real Jaws movie props (including Bruce the shark!), lighthouse exhibits, indigenous history, and hands-on fun for all ages.


Then we hop over to Edgartown for classic gingerbread cottages, town hall views, world-class fudge at Murdock's, and an epic harbor-side lunch at the Quarter Deck—fresh clam strips, lobster boats rolling in, and that perfect seaside picnic vibe.


This is Martha's Vineyard at its most relaxed and beautiful—great food, rich history, stunning views, and insider tips for visiting at the end of the season. Whether you're planning your first trip or you're a Vineyard regular, this video will show you why fall is the best time to experience the island.
