Travel Banter: Martha’s Vineyard

07.24.24. Edgartown, protected birds, and whaling history…

We almost wrote off Martha’s Vineyard after last year’s subpar experience. But we made a lovely detour to Edgartown that changed our perspective.

From the show:

“…can already tell, it's a very beautiful little picturesque place. There is a beach with a bunch of sunbathers on it and boats that are anchored just outside the inlet. That is where we'll find ourselves. The plan was to go to Nantucket, but we changed our minds based on the weather. It is beautiful today…”

“… The whaling ships would go out and they'd reach California and then they'd stay in California and abandon their ships and get caught up in the gold rush. So that was kind of fun to learn. And the women pretty much ran this town when the men were away…”

“… you will not mistake them. Horseshoe crabs, they have a very unique look. They look prehistoric and a little creepy. We recently saved one on a beach in Beaufort, North Carolina, Alex carried it to the water and sent it back …”
