Wampum

In earlier times, the Wampanoag tribe of Martha’s Vineyard made purple and white quahaug shells into beads called wampum, which were used as currency. These days, Island artists use wampum to make exquisite jewelry and accessories.

Beach Roses and Sunsets

Rosa rogusa, aka the beach rose, grows along the shores and grassy dunes of the Island, adding pockets of color from pale pink, to soft orange, to fuchsia – the same colors you might see spread across the Menemsha sky at sunset.
