In honor of Shark Week, August 9-16, 2021, here is a list of some of the most delectable dining draws in what better place, than Martha’s Vineyard – where the classic 1975 movie, Jaws was filmed. Just a short ferry ride from Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard includes all of the beaches and restaurants you need for a beautiful summer getaway that’s really not too far away at all.  Here are a few restaurants to try the next time you’re on headed to the “Vineyard” for some fun:

Sharky’s Cantina
