Martha's Vineyard - Seeing the Island


Martha's Vineyard has a great bus service that runs throughout the island to all of the different towns and it is a great way to get where you want to go and to see the lovely homes, countryside, lagoons and cliffs. 

With a full day pass from the transit system you can find yourself in the unique town of Oak Bluffs admiring the quaint cottages and colorful gingerbread houses and then in Vineyard Haven having a bite to eat at The Black Dog and watching ships in the harbor.

 In the town of Aquinnah, the Gay Head cliffs rising above the beautiful beach are not to be missed and it is not unusual to find nude bathers here rolling around in the colorful clay. It is quite a sight as is the Gay Head Light standing tall above the cliffs.

Don't forget to bring along an old copy of Moby Dick to read as you are on the bus riding from town to town to really feel the history as you are experiencing the natural beauty of the island. Some of the pages of my copy are still a bit crumpled from the dampness in the air coming from the ocean.
