Martha's Vineyard has it's own aura, something you can only appreciate by being here and allowing yourself to live the Vineyard experience. If you're willing to take a deep breath and step off the fast track for a moment, you might just connect with what many people consider the island's greatest gifts of all.

Consider the Non-Activity on Martha's Vineyard
Some of the best Vineyard memories are those you'll gather when you stop doing and simply enjoy being - on a blanket at the Menemsha beach, where a modest crowd gathers every summer evening and applauds a good sunset, or on a walk through the winding paths of the Campground in Oak Bluffs, where bright gingerbread cottages transport you back into an earlier century.

Connect with Island Rythms
Stand beneath the Edgartown lighthouse and watch vintage sailboats pass by, and you might not feel thrills of a bungee-jumping variety. But you'll be breathing in the rhythms of an island community whose connections to the sea have nourished it for hundreds of years. Climb aboard the Flying Horses Carousel in Oak Bluffs and you won't be carried far, but you might feel a kinship with all the generations of wide-eyed children who have ridden on this national landmark, the oldest working merry-go-round in the United States.

Activities on MV - The Choice Is Yours
In the end, it all depends on what you mean by "Activities." Bicycling along a quiet forest path or walking an empty beach at dawn might lack the impact of Reggae night at the Hot Tin Roof, but the beauty of Martha's Vineyard is that it offers the visitor both. The island is filled with great things to do, and one of the very best of them is almost nothing at all.
