Bass
& Bluefish Derby
Vineyard
anglers believe the best time for fishing on Martha's Vineyard is in the
fall. The hustle bustle of summer is gone, the Island beaches and waterways
are more accessible and many species of fish are well fed and ready to
begin their fall migration through these waters.

Hear
the Quiet of a Camp Ground Summer
The
Camp Ground cottages are shamelessly colored, in shades like lemon yellow,
chocolate brown and strawberry red. Green is trimmed with blue, violet
with mauve, hot pink with bubblegum pink, as if these cottages leapt from
the pages of a coloring book.

Evening
Falls at Menemsha
There
is not a better place on the eastern seaboard to watch a summer sunset
than at Menemsha, says Conrad Krafte. Mr. Krafte spends most of his winters
in Hillsdale, N.J., but in the summer he'd prefer to be here.

Farmers'
Market Offers Taste of Fall
A
near cloudless morning hosts the West Tisbury Farmers' Market of the Saturday,
drawing a crowd of shoppers, children and dogs that was bustling yet moderate,
compared with the mosh pit the market becomes in the midsummer months.

Felix
Neck Wildlife Sanctuary
They
glide on the summer breeze high above the Island coastline, up toward
the clouds and the blue ocean sky, above the homes and old meadows and
woodlands of the Vineyard. Their flight track often leads to the fishing
grounds of Sengekontacket Pond, that lovely stretch of water that forms
the boundary between the townships of Edgartown and Oak Bluffs.

Menemsha
Remains a Fishing Village
Menemsha
fishermen rise with the sun. On a cool, clear morning the lobstermen came
down one by one to take their boats to sea. Early morning is the most
civilized hour on the Menemsha waterfront. It starts with first light.
Even at the height of summer, the fishermen claim ownership to the sights
and sounds of the morning. This is their time.

Mytoi:
The Jewel of Chappaquiddick
It's
one of the unlikeliest of delights to be found on the Vineyard, and it
seems even more charmingly eccentric - unexpected at any rate - that it
should be on Chappaquiddick, that semi, demi Island that is part of our
Island.

The
New England Clam Bake
The
ritual of the New England clambake is older than New England itself. The
Indians of Martha's Vineyard perfected this method of cooking food in
a rock-lined sand pit long before the English, French and Spanish empires
cast their acquisitive eyes toward the Americas.
