Not only is Martha’s Vineyard home endless charm, but it’s also filled with everything you need for the best vacation possible. This includes countless activities and attractions within a short walk or bus ride from Vineyard Square Hotel & Suites. Before setting off on memorable adventures, ensure you’re properly fueled by enjoying a delicious and filling breakfast at one of the exceptional restaurants on Martha’s Vineyard.

5 Edgartown Restaurants for Your Morning Meal

Guests at our Edgartown hotel can enjoy a delicious continental breakfast. However, if you’re staying with us during the shoulder seasons and this amenity isn’t available, several restaurants in Edgartown are known for plating up scrumptious dishes.

1. Espresso Love is only a short walk from our downtown Edgartown hotel. Browse their coffee menu for the perfect caffeinated way to start your day. There are also plenty of bagel sandwiches to choose from.

2. For quintessential breakfast fare, Edgartown Diner is a go-to option. Try their take on an egg McMuffin, eggs benedict, and more. For something sweet, banana bread French toast or stuffed French toast.

3. While Dock Street Coffee Shop believes in keeping things simple, that doesn’t mean their offerings are any less tasty. Stop by to enjoy a classic breakfast sandwich or a staple combination of eggs and toast.

4. One of the best-kept-secrets in Edgartown is Behind the Bookstore. Not only is this one of the best coffee shops in town, but it’s also a fantastic spot to enjoy all-day brunch. They also have a well-stocked bakery case filled with great grab-and-go options.

5. Lucky Hank’s Restaurant & Cafe is a quaint restaurant known for its small, farm-fresh menu. Its delectable breakfast dishes feature free-range meats, local seafood, and incredible vegetarian options.

When you think of Martha’s Vineyard, you probably imagine incredible seafood, stunning views, and endless charm. While all of this is certainly true, the New England island has a bit of a haunted past. If you’re planning a fall getaway to Vineyard Square Hotel & Suites, leave some room in your itinerary to discover some of Martha’s Vineyard’s mysterious and spooky buildings and history.

5 Places to Discover Martha’s Vineyard’s Haunted Past

According to local legend, several places in Martha’s Vineyard are known for their haunting presence and supernatural events. While we can’t confirm whether these legends are true, reading about them is a fun way to embrace Spooky Season.

1. The Vineyard Gazette Building dates back to the 1760s. Before it houses the newspaper, it was where less fortunate families lived. Those who work in the building report unexplainable happenings like coffee mugs moving.

2. Another location in Edgartown is the Vincent House, which is the oldest residence on Martha’s Vineyard. There have been reports of doors slamming and apparitions of a woman.

3. Also in Edgartown is the former Daggett House Inn. Now a private residence, it was the first tavern to sell beer and ale on the island. Supposedly, two brothers and their dog haunt the grounds.

4. Built in 1891, the Corbin-Norton House in Oak Bluffs has burned down twice. One ghost hunter says spirits caused the fires.

5. Venture to Aquinnah, and you’ll discover the Vanderhoop Homestead, often considered the most haunted house on Martha’s Vineyard. There is some disagreement about this spot, now the Aquinnah Cultural Center. Spirit hunters say they have heard a little girl screaming at night, while former residents report they’ve never heard her.

There are countless things to do on a Martha’s Vineyard vacation. From exploring things to do in West Tisbury to hiking around the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest, the possibilities feel almost endless. One unique adventure to include on your next stay at Vineyard Square Hotel & Suites is visiting some of the farms found on Martha’s Vineyard. Much of Martha’s Vineyard is rural, and a good amount is farming land. Keep reading to learn more about how you can learn about the production of food and agricultural products during your getaway.

What Is Agritourism?

Agritourism is a growing field that combines agriculture and tourism. At its core, it is a type of commercial enterprise that combines agricultural production/processing with tourism to entice people to visit farms, ranches, or other agricultural businesses. Several places on Martha’s Vineyard offer fun and educational activities aimed at showcasing the island’s farming heritage.

A Checklist of 5 Martha’s Vineyard Farms

1. The FARM Institute at Katama Farm is part working farm, part farm-based educational hub. Stroll through the Katama Barn to say hello to sheep, chickens, and goats. There’s also a walking trail that takes you along the south pastures.

2. Morning Glory Farm started in 1975 and opened its farmstand in 1981. The farmstand is a great place to purchase sustainability-grown produce, which varies depending on the season.

3. For a different kind of farm experience, visit the Island Alpaca Company. Created in 2004, this spot now has a herd of over 50 Huacaya alpaca. Check the calendar of events to see what extra fun is taking place.

4. Located in Chilmark, The Grey Barn and Farm is the only certified meat and dairy produced on the island. Sign up for one of their delicious tastings, or stop by Monday at 10 a.m. to join the public farm tour. Check the farm calendar for details.

5. The North Tisbury Farm & Market has a little of everything. The roadside farmstand is known for having everything from heirloom tomatoes to spinach and more. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, they will pick it fresh from the field if possible. The market is also a great place to find local meat and baked goods.

Who says vacations are just for families or couples? Sometimes, the best way to reset and recharge your batteries is on a trip for one. One of the biggest reasons to go on a solo vacation is that you can do exactly what you want. This means you can enjoy some of the best things to do in Martha’s Vineyard at your leisure. To help you have the best time possible, the Vineyard Square Hotel & Suites team has compiled a list of things to do during your escape.

A Checklist of What to Do on a Solo Edgartown Escape

Going on vacation by yourself doesn’t have to be isolated. As you start researching solo vacation ideas for Martha’s Vineyard, you’ll soon discover some of the most popular things to do are just as enjoyable for one.

– Go for a peaceful stroll along the beach. We recommend avoiding popular beaches and opting for places like East Beach, part of the Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge on Chappaquiddick.

– If you’re looking for a less sandy place to take a walk, visit some of the preserves that are part of the Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank. This includes spots like Felix Neck Prseerve, Sweetened Water, and Ben Toms.

– Spend a day popping in and out of local stores. We highly recommend visiting Edgartown Books to stock up on beach reads or browse the incredible works of art at Eisenhauer Gallery.

Bike rentals to check out and explore the island, one of the best things to do in Martha's Vineyard for solo travelers.

– Book yourself a day of pampering at Sea Spa Salon at our Edgartown hotel. Their services include massages, facials, and more. They also offer incredible packages that cover you from head to toe.

– Check out one of our bike rentals or reserve one from Wheel Happy Bicycle Shop and explore the island on two wheels. There are several bike trails to explore, including a 5.5-mile ride to South Beach or a roughly 16-mile loop from Edgartown to Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven.

– Enjoy a cold one at a Martha’s Vineyard brewery. Head to Bad Martha to sip on one of their craft beers while surrounded by colorful flora. Other excellent options are Wash Ashore Beer Company or Offshore Ale Co.

Talk with the local staff at our concierge desk for even more suggestions.
