Just a few miles off the coast of Massachusetts lies Martha’s Vineyard, an island that awaits anybody who is interested in kicking your feet up, putting your toes in the sand or just relaxing and getting away from it all. With the New England coast typically being rocky and rugged, Martha’s Vineyard paints a gentler coast line with a plethora of public beaches, state and historical beaches, harbors and lighthouses that symbolize and dot the New England coast. Public transportation can get you to most of the aforementioned beaches with some accessible by walking to from wherever you are staying on the island.
