EDGARTOWN DINNER RESTAURANTS + BARS
Many of these Edgartown spots are just a short walk from our home!
Head up to the roof deck for the best views in Edgartown. We love to go in the afternoon for drinks/lunch. It's definitely a "must-do"

OAK BLUFFS RESTAURANTS
15/20 minute drive from Edgartown. Oak Bluffs is another popular Martha's Vineyard town with a different personality and is noted for its "gingerbread cottages" and other well-preserved mid- to late-nineteenth-century buildings. It's definitely worth a visit!
Local brewery, casual food, great pizza and a cozy atmosphere.

South Beach in Edgartown is the island's most popular beach... bigger waves, but gorgeous and packed in the height of summer! It's an easy drive, or bike ride from our home through Katama.

State Beach is another option, kid/family friendly because there are no waves. It's a long stretch of beach between Edgartown & Oak Bluffs, also a short drive or bike ride from our home.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND going up to Menemsha to watch the sunset, if the weather permits. Give yourself enough time to get a steamed lobster & other seafood from Larsen's Fish Market (it's right at the beach and they cook everything to order), bring some beach towels, beach chairs, a bottle (or two of wine) and setup shop on the sand. The house has towels + chairs for your use!

Cool catamaran that offers Edgartown harbor sailing excursions.
ALSO, another option is Magic Carpet Sailboat Ride - We go every time we're on the island. The couple who run it are true sailors and it's so peaceful being out on the water.
