Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts
Endearingly nicknamed “The Black Hamptons,” Martha’s Vineyard has long been a popular getaway among wealthy and affluent Black families, including the Obamas, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce and Jay-Z. While Martha’s Vineyard is also a popular summer destination, those in-the-know appreciate that the island quiets down when the temperatures cool down. Of course, it’s always relatively quiet, with a population of a little over 20,000. One of the most romantic things about Martha’s Vineyard is that it is, in fact, an island. There is no bridge connecting it to a mainland so in order to get to this getaway, you’ll need to catch a ferry from one of the nearby ports like Cape Cod, Nantucket, or Rhode Island. There’s plenty to do on the island, but many go to dine and drink, with the famous food and wine festival happening at the end of October.
