The Beach Plum Inn on the glorious Island Of Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts is legendary. Perched above Menemsha, the 300-hundred-year-old fishing port, the Beach Plum’s stunning views, walking path to Menemsha Beach, and setting on a working farm are just the obvious reason we have been a cherished Martha’s Vineyard destination since 1950.

Each spring our guests, like the Osprey, migrate back to their home away from home. For decades returning for the sublime water views, comfortable rooms, and locally sourced meals and to simply soak in the magic of Menemsha.

Come find out what it’s all about.

Question? With many charming inns on Martha’s Vineyard and around the world, what makes the Beach Plum so special? Why are our guests more like family who return same time next year for not just decades but generations?

We wonder about this a Lot. Is it our cozy rooms in the farmhouse overlooking the absurdly picturesque fishing village of Menemsha? Is it the path to Menemsha Beach through our working waterfront farm? We say just go to the chicken coop, along the Red Devons pasture, down the hill, and across the dunes. Is it the treasured Beach Passes to Lucy Vincent and Squibnocket? Or the silent, life-affirming evening ritual of pausing as the sun drops into Menemsha Sound?

We can’t answer. Yes, it is all of the above but there is something else. Something that you can’t see but you know is here… because you can feel it. Menemsha.
