Spring Adventures Peter Simon As the thin layer of white topping Martha's Vineyard's clay cliffs slowly disappears under the early spring light, the Island emerges from winter and begins its annual rebirth. Newly painted storefronts, the song of the pinkeltinks and a bustling energy across the Island are a sure sign that Spring has arrived. Given our temperate climate, the natural beauty of our under-developed landscape is easy to enjoy in all four seasons. But only spring offers the visible transformation of greens and blues on the ground, in the sky and in the ocean. Hiking, biking, birding, fishing, beach walking and so much more are available to renew your spirits from a long winter. Adding to the enjoyment, many of our inns offer special springtime rates, making this a perfect time for a Vineyard getaway.
