Typical american sports bar.

Surf and Cycle
Many bike paths and places to rent bicycles, some deliver. prettiest and easiest: the six-mile trail from Edgartown to Oak Bluffs (sandy stretch of Joseph Sylvia State Beach, with mild waves, stone jetties and many families at play)

Edgartown
Quaint, classical, cute little village

Menemsha Harbor and Beach
Old quaint little village and one of the beaches were the movie Jaws was filmed, fishing port near the western end of the Vineyard and provides one of the island’s best views of the setting sun. Call in the morning to order a lobster dinner for the evening at Larsen’s Fish Market at Dutcher Dock (508-645-2680). The cooked lobsters come precracked; the price varies but it’s usually low. Clams are stuffed ($2 each), steamed ($7.75 an order) and on the half shell ($9.50 a dozen); you can also get oysters ($15 a dozen) and crab cakes ($2 each). Of course, Larsen’s has its own T-shirts: $14 for the short-sleeve. The food is bagged or put on paper plates, ready for the beach. Eating dinner and watching the sunset is an old Vineyard tradition. Some families come with chairs, tables, candles and wine (bring it with you; Menemsha is dry). But you can eat on the beach or on the stone jetties. In between, there is great fishing, children can catch crabs by the marina, and cute shops are nearby. When the sun sets, be ready to applaud.
