DailyCandy Goes to Martha’s Vineyard

Less than three hours from Boston via car ferry, Martha’s Vineyard offers buckets of family fun.

Make home base the Winnetu Oceanside Resort, with in-room kitchenettes, free activities, and shuttles to town. At the adjoining Lure restaurant, enjoy a family breakfast buffet and games.

Catch a brass ring for a free ride at the Flying Horses Carousel. For downtime and rainy days, stock up at Riley’s Reads.

When togetherness wears thin, tell all to get lost in the five-acre corn maze at Farm Institute, opening mid-July. Then cool off at Long Point Wildlife Refuge, which limits visitors so it feels like a private paradise.

Can you dig it?
