Sunshine’s on its Way—What’s Your Go-To Island Ritual?

Sunshine’s on its Way—What’s Your Go-To Island Ritual?

May 23, 2025

What’s the first thing you do when the rain clears and the sun breaks through? Head to the beach? Treat yourself to a cone of your favorite ice cream? Maybe you grab lunch outdoors at one of the Island’s many scenic spots. Or perhaps you hop on a bike and cruise over to Chappy.

Dog lovers—do you and your pup have a favorite spot? Maybe the dog park is calling your name. Would you pick up a pole and some bait and find a new favorite fishing hole?

Who knows,  just maybe, today could be the day you throw on your shark hat and wait for a parade!

There’s so much to see and do on Martha’s Vineyard, and Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of it all.

Wherever your sunshine takes you, we hope you stay safe—and we’d love to hear your favorite Island traditions. No gatekeeping here—share the magic!
