Noman's! It has such a fun vibe. And the food and drinks are perfect!
Visit Menemsha Fish Market and get a whole-cooked lobster to eat on the beach!
Pack snacks & activities for kids to do while waiting around. Many places don't offer kids menus so we always have a go-to snack stashed in a bag!

You can't visit the island without a stop into Black Dog Cafe! With several locations, it's easy to hit up for their fresh baked goods, sandwiches, coffee, and retail selections. My husband and I also love Bad Martha's Brewery in Edgartown. The outdoor area is beautiful and they share space next to a nursery so it's full of blooms and trees as you enjoy your craft beer. If you have time, play a game of Jenga or Jumbo Connect 4!
My family of three enjoyed walking the path to the Edgartown Harbor Light near the beach watching sailboats and kites coast by. We also visited the Cliffs at Aquinnah for the magnificent views of Gay Head Light as well as the ocean. We stopped over for fresh seafood at Larsen's Fish Market (be prepared to wait) and walked right over to Menemsha Beach to eat in the sand while observing beach goers.
Bring snacks and include them in your adventures! Our umbrella stroller was more than enough while walking the streets in each island town checking out the shops. A must do is ice cream! We loved Mad Martha's Ice Cream in Oak Bluffs which was an easy stop before boarding the last ferry back over to Woods Hole. I've heard good things about an alpaca farm in Oak Bluffs that is also great for kids!

Noman's! Awesome live music and a great place for children to run around & play while adults hang out! Our photographer Larissa suggested it and it was a hit! We wish we had discovered it sooner!
The beaches!
Book the ferry early!

Nancy’s upper deck (the nicer restaurant!)
Our favorite thing was visiting all of the bookstores and going to Aquinnah to see the lighthouse/cliffs!
Rent a car! It makes everything so much easier.

Spend as much time on the water as possible! Whether that be by kayak, boat, paddleboard or just relaxing by the ocean.

We loved Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, but if we had to offer one tip it would be to prepare for all weather conditions! We went in mid-May, so one day it was sunny and mid-70's, the next day it was below 50 and raining ALL day! Perhaps research some indoor and outdoor activities to do in the event the weather is erratic.

We loved being able to take the bus and explore the different cities on the island. Red Cat Kitchen in Oak Bluffs is a must!

The homes surrounding Edgartown’s historic town center are simply gorgeous! Grab an ice cream cone and take an hour or two to wander the neighborhood. As a professional (I wish) house stalker, I can say that these beautiful, classic, historic homes can’t be missed!
