The Alabama at Vineyard Haven harbor - Martha's Vineyard

Only about 45 minutes via ferry from the mainland, one would think Martha's Vineyard is a vacation playground for tourists. To a degree this is true, many places cater to tourists. But the island has plenty of its own character. This is more than a resort island, people actually live and work here. Its small towns are charming, and there are quite a bit of history at each of them. The scenery here is nice, and there are more than just beaches.

The striking cliffs at Gayhead.

As a driver I need to say that MOPEDS ARE VERY DANGEROUS. Every year, mopedists hit sand on the road- usually on the curves around the Martha's Vineyard Hospital- and his bike drives out of control into oncoming traffic, and that's the end of him.
