AQUINNAH CLIFFS Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts Island spirit served New England style Hop aboard a boat or plane and leave the ordinary behind on Martha’s Vineyard, the jewel of New England’s stunning coast. With romantic lighthouses, beach walks, and world-class cuisine, it’s easy to see how “The Vineyard” has become such an iconic destination. But for owner Annabelle Hunton of Nobnocket Boutique Inn , Martha’s Vineyard is still chock-full of hidden treasures and delights. “It would take a lifetime to discover all the hidden gems that are tucked away ’up-island’ and ’down-island’, along dirt roads and unmarked trails,” says Hunton. Newbies take note: up-island refers to the western part of the island and down-island the eastern. Between exploring the area’s nooks and crannies, pay a visit to Martha’s Vineyard Museum in Vineyard Haven for interesting exhibits and excellent views. Then, catch the sunset from the water with a trip to the Elizabeth Islands , a guided outing available through Island Girl Excursions . Another option? Simply exist on island time.
