Opis wycieczki

Your tour of Martha’s Vineyard begins right off the ferry in Vineyard Haven. As you drive along the coast, you’ll hear about the Wampanoag tribe and how the island got its unusual name. Then, it’s time for a bit of historic architecture, starting with the Flying Horses Carousel, which dates all the way back to 1876.

Next, you’ll head to Inkwell Beach, a beautiful stretch of sand with an unfortunate history. Then you’ll find out how a genetic mutation resulted in Martha’s Vineyard residents creating their very own form of sign language.

As you continue south, you’ll learn more about how the island fared during the tumultuous times of the American Revolution. Then you’ll see a surprising landmark: the beach where Steven Spielberg filmed an iconic scene from the movie Jaws.

Nature lovers will adore the next stop, the Caroline Tuthill Wildlife Preserve. Home to all manner of flora and fauna, this is a perfect spot to reconnect with the natural world. Next, you’ll reach Lighthouse Beach, home to an iconic lighthouse that was first built almost two hundred years ago. You’ll also pass through Edgartown’s historic district, a quaint little slice of the past.

Then, you’ll hear about the island’s mysterious disappearing deer and the 1938 hurricane, which devastated local communities. Finally, you’ll arrive at South Beach, which offers a placid bay and dramatic beach all in one. Your tour concludes here.
