Good restaurants, scenic beaches, and fun events are something to look forward to with each Vineyard summer.

“Buying lobster rolls from Grace Church on Fridays.”
Jonas Lagerquist, Martina Palm, Matlias Palm, Nora Palm, and Karin Palm of Sweden
“Eating at local restaurants, like Linda Jean’s, Mocha Mott’s, and Waterside Market.”

“We enjoy having family and friends come to enjoy the Island together with us. We plan to make this an annual thing.”
