Martha's Vineyard Island, USA

Martha’s Vineyard is more than a summer address. Its six distinct towns are reached by ferry from mainland Massachusetts. In Edgartown, white Greek Revival houses recall the whaling era. Oak Bluffs adds painted gingerbread cottages and a lively harborfront. On the western shore, Aquinnah’s clay cliffs frame broad Atlantic views. Make room for fresh seafood, independent shops, and the island’s easy pace.

Nantucket MA, USA

Nantucket is a small island 30 miles south of Cape Cod, where maritime history remains part of daily life. From the harbor, head for cobbled streets and handsome gray-shingled houses.
