The County of Dukes County consists
of 11 islands off the southeast coast of Massachusetts, within sight of
Cape Cod. More than 99 percent of the County’s population lives on the
largest island, Martha’s Vineyard, an international tourist destination
and vacation-home resort.
The Vineyard’s year-round population
of 15,000 soars to more than 100,000 in the summer season, not counting
the boatloads of “day trippers.” Miles of free public beaches and other
recreational opportunities, coupled with exciting night life and exquisite
natural beauty, give the Island its world-class reputation. The many celebrity
homeowners and visitors are evidence that the “rich and famous” consider
Martha’s Vineyard a premier playground.
Dukes County also embraces the Elizabeth
Islands, lying several miles west of the Vineyard across the waters of
Vineyard Sound. They are named Nonamesset, Uncatena, Weepecket, Gull, Naushon,
Pasque, Nashawena, Penekise and Cuttyhunk. Noman’s Land, an uninhabited
isle off the southwest end of Martha’s Vineyard, completes Dukes County’s
land inventory. |
