Vineyard Haven Harbor 
Traveling to Martha’s Vineyard is much easier (and much cheaper) if you leave your car on the mainland. With plenty of options for car rentals and a great bus system, you can get just about anywhere! Not to mention, there is so much within walking distance of the ferry, so regardless of how you plan to explore the Island, there is still plenty to do!

Grab a Cup of Joe
Luckily, you don’t have to go very far to find yourself a flavorful cup of coffee. Mocha Motts is a favorite between both locals and visitors, serving organic coffee and espresso drinks, homemade baked goods, and Cape Cod bagels. The warm atmosphere and friendly staff is a great welcome to the Island.

Go on a Shopping Spree
Just a few steps from Mocha Motts sits a sustainable shop and design studio known as Conrado. Dedicated to using only deadstock materials, this boutique ensures that its products are ethically crafted, whether they are made in house or made by other local women and or BIPOC artisans. Rather than ending up in a landfill, these fabrics are crafted into beautiful (and comfortable) dresses, jumpsuits, jackets, and more.

Located in downtown Vineyard Haven, this re-imagined general goods outpost has a classically modern aesthetic. Lennox & Harvey offers a specially curated collection of products inspired by travel for the beach, body and home. The vast selection of design-conscious products make for great gifts and are sure to cure anyone’s wanderlust!

Looking for fun styles for both men and women? The Green Room in Vineyard Haven offers an extensive collection of attire; whether it be for lounging, surfing, tanning, skating, and more. Its fashionable selection attracts Islanders and visitors alike - and for good reason! Made of high quality materials and featuring brands from near and far, The Green Room has it all. The main floor of the shop features men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, while the downstairs features a lively surf and skate selection of boards, attire, and shoes. There is even a larger shoe store just a few steps down the road if you can’t find what you're looking for.
