The New England / Massachusetts region
The Cape Cod Region is the most popular, warm water, beach destination in the Northeastern United States. Classically beautiful, this authentic New England region has many of the best restaurants, shopping and sightseeing opportunities. Golfing, deep sea fishing, water sports, bicycling, antiquing and great beaches are just some of the things to do.
Martha's Vineyard area
Martha's Vineyard is the largest Island in New England, located seven miles from the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, “The Vineyard” – as locals call the Island – is authentic New England at its best. The Island’s beauty and cultural offerings make it a popular destination for visitors from all over the world; for celebrities who come here to enjoy the peace and privacy the Island provides; and for the many families who have made the Vineyard their summer home for many generations. Easily accessible, most visitors come by ferry, or by air. There are six towns on the Island of Martha's Vineyard; three up-island towns, Aquinnah (formerly known as Gay Head), Chilmark, and West Tisbury; and three down-island towns, Vineyard Haven (also known as Tisbury) Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. The terms "up-island" and "down-island" are nautical terms referring to longitude on the map.
Edgartown, home of the Winnetu Oceanside Resort; is stately, staid, classic, and beautiful. It is the location of many whaling-era Greek Revival homes, which have been carefully maintained and are lived in to this day. Edgartown has Interesting boutiques, movie theatres, and cultural activities, the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, Edgartown Lighthouse, a classic library, and many restaurants. The town is a picture-book setting – with its active harbor, bustling waterfront and magnificent Katama Bay. The two-minute crossing to Chappaquiddick – via the two-car capacity ferry and the mainland passenger ferry to Falmouth – leaves from here. Main Street in Edgartown is an easy three-mile (flat) bike ride from the Winnetu Oceanside Resort along the bike path.
Oak Bluffs is eclectic, vibrant, diverse and fun. Home of the famous Flying Horses Carousel, the oldest continuously operated carousel in the country. Colourful, unusual and brightly coloured Victorian “gingerbread” cottages surround the famed Tabernacle, centre of cultural activities in Oak Bluffs. There is a popular night scene, restaurants, bars, and movie theatres. The Steamship Authority car and passenger ferries to Woods Hole, and passenger-only ferries to Falmouth, Hyannis, Nantucket, New Bedford, and Rhode Island, all leave from here. Oak Bluffs is a spectacular nine-mile (flat) bike ride from the Winnetu Oceanside Resort along family-friendly State Beach (where the movie “Jaws” was filmed in 1974).
Vineyard Haven is the Island's year-round community. Shopping, restaurants (BYOB), home of the Black Dog Restaurant and clipper ships, a classic movie theatre, and a beautiful harbor. “Beadniks” is a fun place to go to make bead necklaces and jewellery. The Vineyard Playhouse on Church Street offers quality professional live theatre that is often the testing ground for Broadway-bound and experimental productions. The Steamship Authority car and passenger ferries to Woods Hole, and passenger-only ferries to New Bedford, all leave from here. Vineyard Haven is a ten-mile (flat) inland bike ride from the Winnetu Oceanside Resort.
Aquinnah offers quiet, breathtaking scenery. Home to many descendants of the Wampanoag Indian Tribe. The magnificent National Landmark, the Gay Head Cliffs, is a must visit, with its beautiful, multi-coloured clay cliffs cascading down into the ocean. Enjoy luncheon atop the cliffs. Visit the Gay Head Lighthouse at sunset on weekends and climb to the top to watch the sun set into the ocean. Aquinnah is a world-class, 23-mile bike ride from the Winnetu Oceanside Resort. It is hilly and challenging, but well worth the effort. You can bike one way and return by town shuttle bus with your bike, or bike round trip.
In Chilmark, there are rolling hills, stone walls, farms, breathtaking ocean scenery and famous sunsets. Visit Menemsha Village, a classic fishing village and scenic destination. Home of the U.S. Coast Guard and the bike ferry, which helps reduce time on the bike trip to Aquinnah. The weekly Chilmark flea market, located on Middle Road, is very popular – as is a slice of pizza on the outside deck of the Chilmark General Store. Menemsha is an 18-mile bike ride from the Winnetu Oceanside Resort. The ride is hilly and challenging. You can either bike one way and return by town shuttle bus with your bike, or bike round trip.
West Tisbury is the Vineyard’s farming community. This town has all the characteristics associated with a typical “New England Village,” including Alley’s General Store and Post Office, the white church steeple, an old mill, art galleries, and classic Town Hall. Home of the weekly Farmer’s Market and Artisan’s Fair, as well as the annual Agricultural Fair in August. West Tisbury in an 11-mile (flat) bike ride from the Winnetu Oceanside Resort – via the bike path. It is a wind- free trip through the peaceful and scenic Martha’s Vineyard State Forest.
