The Vineyard Haven harbor is breathtaking with its clear turquoise water filled with sailboats. I honestly felt as if I were on a remote island far away instead of just seven miles off the coast of Cape Cod.<\/font><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14948\" style=\"width: 587px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scenicrunway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Vineyard-Haven-Marthas-Vineyard.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14948\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scenicrunway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Vineyard-Haven-Marthas-Vineyard.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"577\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scenicrunway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Vineyard-Haven-Marthas-Vineyard.jpg 577w, https:\/\/www.scenicrunway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Vineyard-Haven-Marthas-Vineyard-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vineyard Haven, Martha&#8217;s Vineyard<\/p><\/div>\n<p><font color=\"#000000\">While the other passengers on the ferry waited in line to disembark, I lingered behind to take as many pictures as I could of the scenic harbor of Vineyard Haven. After leaving the ferry, I decided to walk around the town of Vineyard Haven, Main Street is filled with quaint shops and a ice cream parlor. Martha&#8217;s Vineyard has a diverse history of villages, farms, beaches and forests so there is likely something for everyone to enjoy!<\/font><\/p>\n<p><center><div style=\"width: 577px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-14940-1\" width=\"577\" height=\"440\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scenicrunway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Vineyard-Haven-Harbor-Marthas-Vineyard.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scenicrunway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Vineyard-Haven-Harbor-Marthas-Vineyard.mp4\">https:\/\/www.scenicrunway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Vineyard-Haven-Harbor-Marthas-Vineyard.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#000000\">Martha&#8217;s Vineyard attracts many visitors in the summer but there are also residents that live on the island year round. It is not uncommon to see a celebrity or politician out and about in this beautiful and friendly island. I found Martha&#8217;s Vineyard to be very low key. During my visit to Vineyard Haven a long time resident informed me that the movie &#8220;JAWS&#8221; was filmed in Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><center><font color=\"#000000\">The beauty of Martha&#8217;s Vineyard is absolutely amazing!<\/font><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/scenic-runway-travel-trivia\/id1441461345 \">Scenic Runway Travel and LifeStyle Trivia App<\/a> is available in the App Store!<\/span><\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCjI2qkPNBgEEiy-_Pcq__FA\"> Subscribe<\/a> to our YouTube Channel to keep up to date!<\/span><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The island of Martha&#8217;s Vineyard is located approximately seven miles off the coast of Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
