"None of the fancier places to stay up-island have more native feel
than the Menemsha Inn & Cottages, with crushed quahog shells in
the parking lot, gray-shingled, white trimmed buildings, and the
laconic diction of the locals. Request a
room or a cottage with a
view, and be there at sunset (508-645-2521; menemshainn.com; doubles,
$185-$290)..." Condé

"One thing you'll notice about
"up-island" people on Martha's Vineyard, those partial to the western
end of the island, is an almost pagan reverence for the sunset..."
"We witnessed one the instant we stepped into our room at the Menemsha
Inn, a collection of cabins and guesthouses done in the local
vernacular: silver-gray shingles, white-trimmed doors and windows
"expensive simplicity," as my beloved step-mother called it. We walked
through the door at about six, and there was the sun in the picture
window: huge blazing, slowly sliding into the sea."
"Along the east side of the creek is one of the last
commercial fishing docks on the
Vineyard...."
"On our last day, thanks to the endlessly circling bus and our
benefactor named Lucy Vincent we
made it to Chilmark's ocean beach. I think it is the most beautiful
beach I've seen in the Northeast. That's because most beautiful
beaches - Long Island's, for example, or even other sections of the
Vineyard's southern beaches - are flawless.
Lucy Vincent Beach is flawed by a
scattering of huge boulders, and the effect is magical, like a
Japanese garden assembled by giants."Condé
