We are a jewelry and accessories boutique located in an historic building in downtown Edgartown on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Our boutique is two rooms full of indulgences like jewelry, handmade leather accessories, locally made bags, summery scarves, travel cases for jewelry and makeup, beach sarongs, hand poured candles that are made in the USA, silk scarves, letterpress greeting cards, cork clutches, jewelry dishes and much more! We make all of the jewelry we sell and our studio and workshop are adjoined to the shop. We specialize in colorful glass tile beaded jewelry and jewelry that features the shape of Martha's Vineyard. Our beads that have the map of Martha's Vineyard stamped in them have been custom designed by Stefanie and our shop is the only place you will find these special island pieces. They make the perfect souvenirs, gifts and keepsakes. Our locally-owned shop is one of the few shops in downtown Edgartown that is open year round.

Katama Beach (South Beach)

Jump the waves or ride the great surf on the Atlantic Ocean side of this three-mile barrier beach, or enjoy a more relaxed pace on the tranquil Katama Bay side, a protected salt pond with lovely views of the bay. Katama is the largest public beach on the island.

Lovely beach! Great access, plenty of parking and portapotties - excellent setup. The wave action is strong; not for the faint of heart. Strongly suggest to go a low tide; beach space becomes cramped at high tide. All in all a great experience.

Edgartown Lighthouse

The Martha's Vineyard Museum is privileged to be the steward of three of the Island's lighthouses. The East Chop, Edgartown, and Gay Head lighthouses are not only historic reminders of a bygone age, but are working beacons that still send a light out into the night. Beyond their important functional role, these structures also offer visitors spectacular views of the breathtaking beauty of Vineyard Sound, the simple elegance of Edgartown Harbor & Chappaquiddick, and the majestic cliffs of Aquinnah. Major renovations completed in 2007, including installation of a staircase to the lantern room, allow the interior of the Edgartown Light to be open to visitors. A lighthouse keeper will be available and the doors will be open during designated hours. Parking is available, but limited, on North Water Street. The Vineyard Transit Authority (VTA) busses drop off on Church Street in Edgartown. It is a 5-10 minute walk to the lighthouse from this location.

Nice sand - soft and not rough. Nice waves! Everyone was mindful of social distancing. There is not place to buy food - so pre plan.

Morning Glory Farm

Morning Glory Farm was founded in 1975 by Debbie and Jim Athearn, who now assist their sons Simon and Daniel in running the farm and farmstand. We raise vegetables and fruits on about 65 acres of land in Edgartown, some of it our own and the rest leased from neighbors. Our flower farm in West Tisbury and our cattle operation in Chilmark are both on family land. At our farmstand in Edgartown, we produce scratch-made breads, pies and other baked goods, along with soups, salads, heat and eat entrees and preserves. We also stock carefully selected groceries, including produce from mainland farms to supplement what we grow for you. Our rule is that the quality of what we order from off-Island must meet or exceed the quality of what we raise on the Vineyard.

Love going daily for fresh fruits and veggies, flowers and pie for dessert! Always well run and much more extensive items available.

Edgartown Memorial Wharf

Reviewed By orienttrader - Edgartown, United States

The wharf accommodates the Chappy ferry on one side and is a double decker design with outstanding views of all the yachting activity. It is a popular place for fishing, l as well as lounging on wooden benches on the lower level. It is perhaps the most visited and popular tourist site in Edgartown.
