Menemsha is a quaint, authentic fishing village located in the town of Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard.
Upon arrival you’ll be transported back in time to this beloved place, where you can get some of the freshest seafood you'll ever have from right-on-the-harbor fish markets. Try your luck catching your own from the Menemsha jetty, a popular fishing spot by locals.
Film buffs may recognize some of Menemsha's landmarks from some of the scenes in the movie JAWS. The location for Quint’s (Robert Shaw) shack, and the last resting place for his boat Orca, were at Menemsha Harbor in Chilmark.
Shop the local stores and galleries for exquisite designs and locally made souvenirs. Head to the beach for spectacular unobstructed sunsets with breathtaking views of the Elizabeth Islands–sunsets so good they often end in applause.
