SIGHTSEEING

Book a private tour or take your own vehicle to the must-see attractions on Martha’s Vineyard. Harbor View Hotel guests also may use complimentary Mercedes-Benz vehicles for up to 3 hours at a time on a first come, first serve basis, based on availability.

Oak Bluffs Gingerbread Cottages

A collection of over 300 19th-century Victorian Gingerbread-style cottages can be found in our neighboring town of Oak Bluffs. These colorful and whimsical homes were originally a Methodist summer retreat, and the neighborhood began as a collection of tents.

Aquinnah Cliffs

The colorful clay cliffs of Aquinnah are a National Historic Landmark and truly breathtaking. On a clear day, you will see out to the Elizabeth Islands.

Menemsha Fishing Village

An active fishing village, Menemsha is a home to quirky seafood shacks where you can enjoy fresh shucked oysters and hot buttered lobster rolls as you watch the sunset right over the water. Don’t forget to bring wine – Menemsha is located in Chilmark, which is a dry town, and restaurants require you to bring your own alcohol.

West Tisbury

Home to the oldest store on-island, Alley’s General Store, which first opened in 1858. Visit the art at the Field Gallery across the road and perhaps pose with the whimsical nude statues.

Vineyard Haven

A quaint New England shopping village offering sunset sails. Wander up and down Main Street, which is filled with cute shops and restaurants.

Island Lighthouses

In addition to Edgartown Harbor Light located in front of Harbor View Hotel, the island is home to four other Lighthouses: Aquinnah, West Chop, East Chop, and Cape Poge Lighthouses. A Lighthouse Tour is a popular way to experience the island.
