The Vineyard's pleasant summers and plentiful beaches make it a favorite vacation spot for many tourists, including famous individuals like the Clintons, Bill Gates, James Taylor, and Princess Diana. (However, the Islanders have a local custom that celebrities are to be treated just like everyone else, and paparazzi are not allowed.) Many celebrated movies have also been made on this paradisiacal part of Massachusetts.

Six towns comprise the Vineyard - Tisbury, Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, West Tisbury, Chilmark, and Aquinnah - and they each have exciting annual events, such as Edgartown's 4th of July fireworks and Oak Bluffs' Monster Shark Tournament. Some scenic locales to check out include Menemsha Harbor (breathtaking location of the sunset on the island), Edgartown Lighthouse, Katama Bay (perfect for kayaking), The Flying Horses Carousel, Martha's Vineyard Ferry Dock, Beach Chop Lighthouse, and more.
