This Weekend, Welcome Spring on MV |
If a sunny day, your significant other and a moment to savor the approaching spring is your romantic ideal, MVOL has a few suggestions for very Vineyard outings that can really set the mood.
Sunset Walk
When: On a windless afternoon
Where: the south shore on the sands of Long Point beach.
The Bonus: Bring a blanket and a thermos of hot cider & snuggle up for an early spring sunset. |
Simply Stroll
When: A sunny day in early spring
Where: Chilmark's Fulling Mill Brook.
How: Following the path of a meandering stream, the Land Bank's trail system takes you across picturesque bridges and walkways
The Bonus: a dazzling view of the Chilmark Pond area. |
Bundle up and Take a Walk
A hand-in-hand hike is the perfect opportunity to fall in love once again, with both your companion and the Vineyard. The tranquil views from many of the Island's unspoiled preserves and beaches never fail to work their magic, and the off-season provides extra seclusion and privacy.
Dine on Native Seafood
While up-Island, visit the Menemsha Fish Market or The Net Result in Vineyard Haven where you can pick up all the ingredients for an intimate seafood feast for two. Indulge in lobster, local bay scallops - a much awaited seasonal specialty,and a quart of either house -made clam chowder or lobster bisque. Add a few local Tomahawk or Sweet Neck
oysters for the finishing touch to a romantic MV dinner at home.
Sightsee in Style
with a Limo Tour
If you'd rather relax in the lap of luxury than ramble, Vineyard Limousine offers island tours conducted by friendly informed drivers. Sip champagne and smooch in the backseat of a classic Rolls Royce or stretch limo. For the more adventurous, ask for the 4-wheel drive Suburban and visit out of the way secluded locations.
Linger over Sunday Brunch
Sleep late, then enjoy a stroll in the Sunday morning quiet of downtown Edgartown in search of brunch. It's just a short walk over to The Grill on Main where you'll find a Sunday morning buffet complete with oysters on the half shell, shrimp, pancakes, eggs benedict and more .
