The fall, and particularly the month of October, is a really pleasant time to visit Martha’s Vineyard and the town of Edgartown is always worth the trip. You are able to find a parking place and get a table at your favorite restaurant. The beaches and bike paths are deserted which make for a wonderful afternoon walk while taking in the crisp fall air and seasonal colors.
Even though the crowds are gone, the Island is still bustling, in part due to the very popular annual Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby but also because of the many festivals and outdoor activities that take place during this time of the year.
