The island that weekend
Sun on Saturday
Sunrise 6:21 AM, sunset 4:30 PM. Menemsha faces the sunset; the harbor beaches face the sunrise. Where to watch.
Water
About 57°F at the buoy right now. Tides and the current reading are on the island-now strip on every page.
Ferries
Winter timetable: the Steamship runs Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven only, about fourteen crossings a day, $11 on foot, and a car needs a reservation. Seastreak adds New Bedford boats to Vineyard Haven over Thanksgiving weekend (November 25 to 29 in 2026). More.
The bus
Every VTA route is fare-free through June 30, 2027. Route 1 between Edgartown and Vineyard Haven runs every half hour; up-island routes are thinner outside summer. More.
Beaches
Every beach is open, free and unguarded; the resident-only shores are open to all until spring. Walking weather, not swimming weather. More.
