Martha's Vineyard Activities — Outdoors, Tours and Fun
Activities on Martha’s Vineyard
Everything to do on Martha’s Vineyard, in one place — beaches, hiking, scenic drives, lighthouses, wildlife, biking, kayaking, sailing, food, and shopping. Day trip or full week, each card below links to our full guide on that topic.
One honest planning note: the things that sell out all have a boat or a guide attached — sunset sails, fishing charters, and the Jaws tour book out days ahead in July and August. Trails, lighthouses, bike paths, and beaches need no reservation at all, which makes them the perfect backup plan when weather or crowds shift. Off-season most tours stop, but the island stays open — walking it in October is its own reward.
Outdoor Adventures
Hiking, biking, kayaking, scenic trails, wildlife refuges, fishing spots, and nature walks.
