West Tisbury

Vineyard Haven

New England's top seaport


Must See

P.O. Box 1698

Vineyard Haven, MA 02568

Description

Today, this is the island's "year-round" town. For centuries, Tisbury, commonly known as Vineyard Haven, has been one of New England's top seaports. While much of Martha's Vineyard shuts down when the snow falls, here local shops, inns and restaurants remain open. The historic West Chop Lighthouse, Tashmoo Lake and Old Schoolhouse Museum are among the local attractions. Vineyard Haven is one of the harbors welcoming visitors arriving on ferries from the mainland.
