Discovering Edgartown and Martha’s Vineyard Activities

Edgartown, home to Vineyard Square Hotel & Suites (formerly Colonial Inn), is centrally located for exploring the entire island of Martha’s Vineyard.

Having been a major whaling port in the 1800′s, Edgartown is widely recognized as the most elegant and picturesque of the island’s towns. Visitors today enjoy strolling our brick paths while discovering the historic grand old captain’s homes, the beautiful and elaborate seaside gardens that surround them, and sweeping views of the harbor and Chappaquiddick Island. Our hotel guests also enjoy the numerous and unique boutiques, art galleries, and world-class dining that are just steps from the Colonial Inn’s front door, in this beautiful resort community.

Martha’s Vineyard is located just 7 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, MA. It has long been considered a favorite resort community of the Northeast. This magical island is rich in history, breathtaking beaches, boating excursions, and a variety of landscapes.  About 100 square miles, Martha’s Vineyard is composed of six towns – the towns of Edgartown, Tisbury, Oak Bluffs, West Tisbuy, Chilmark, and Aquinnah – each with their own unique character.
