Vineyard Haven

The seaside village of Vineyard Haven, which is also known as Tisbury, is the main entry point to the island of Martha's Vineyard via the Steamship Authority ferry from Woods Hole. Nestled in a cove that was once the site of a prominent whaling station, Vineyard Haven, MA is a popular summer vacation destination, but attracts the adventurous year-round. Although many of Vineyard Haven's historic buildings were destroyed by fire in 1833, there are several historic homes that survived and continue to stand proudly on William Street, overlooking the harbor.

Owen Park, just a short walk up Main Street has breathtaking views of the harbor and is a great spot for an afternoon picnic. The Vineyard Playhouse and the Katharine Cornell Theater offer professional theater, concerts and an eclectic array of year-round entertainment.
