Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary

A good description of the many natural activities found on the island

Reviewed By jerb2014 - Bristol, United States

Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary has it all: great hiking trails, a beautiful forest, great views, large boulders and a fabulous beach. Four hundred acres were purchased or received through donation to create this treasure. Some of the paths are a bit steep but not too challenging. One leads to the beach where you will fine pristine water and fine sand. Unfortunately, swimming is not allowed. To get there, take State Road to Indian Hill Road, follow this to Obed Dagger Road and look for sanctuary signs. The road is narrow and unpaved and not for the faint of heart, but in about a mile, you will arrive to the parking area. There, relax and enjoy!

Martha's Vineyard Glassworks

Reviewed By cjonesbos - Boston, United States

We stopped with our 4 kids (aged 13 down to 5) and loved seeing the beautiful pieces. We had to split into smaller groupings due to Covid and the glass blowing was also different due to precautions as well. The worker was very knowledgeable and kind. We would have stayed longer but limited our time due to the number of people allowed inside.

The Black Dog

A trip to the Vineyard is not complete without a visit to this popular gift shop, restaurant and bakery, known for its seemingly ubiquitous T-shirt. The creation of Captain Robert Douglas, a retired air force jet fighter pilot, the 30-year-old Black Dog Tavern has a simple decor, fresh local fish and vegetables daily and crowds in-season. There are four locations on the island.

This General store is amazing--jam-packed full of all sorts of items--food, toys, souvenirs, beauty supplies, games, etc., etc., It is an experience wandering along the isles in the store. No question it is a favorite of the locals. Not to be missed if you're visitingMartha's Vineyard.
