The Menemsha Inn is located in the 300 year-old fishing village of Menemsha on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard.  There is no bridge or tunnel to this island paradise, so plan your travel accordingly.

The island encompasses six towns spread over 87 square miles. While there is public transportation and taxi service available, we recommend that you bring your vehicle or rent one here on the island.
