Martha's Vineyard is a perfect destination for an outdoorsy family holiday. With beautiful beaches and verdant interiors, there is a wide choice of land and sea activities with something to suit all family members. The island is particularly unique as there is not a single chain restaurant or hotel, meaning visitors can benefit from chef-driven cuisine and unique independent hotels. While there is a good range of accommodation on the island, some are more suitable for families than others.
