T
he best free show on Martha's Vineyard? Sunset at Menemsha Public Beach. Grab some chowder and fried clams from the Bite or a lobster roll from Larsen's Fish Market, both on the way, and settle in. The spectacle is different every night—sometimes crowded, sometimes not, occasionally with the accompaniment of itinerant musicians—but it's always fun and friendly.
Shhh who knew
How spectacular are the sunsets in Chilmark's Menemsha section? We're convinced they're what brought President Barack Obama and his family to vacation there in August 2009.
