Explore this eclectic mix of shops and eateries when you arrive at Vineyard Haven. From beads to books, breakfast to burgers, you find a treat at every stop.

Artcliff Diner

Just a little farther out Beach Road, you'll find breakfast all day and eclectic lunch fare at The ArtCliff Diner. There's always a line for a table or a seat at the counter, but Gina whips up fabulous salads and savory crepes, seafood sandwiches, falafel, great burgers, and much more. (The daily specials depend on what's caught her eye at the farmers' market.) [DETAILS]

Beadniks

More than a bead store, Beadniks is an experience. Enter this "Aladdin's cave" and you'll find an awesome selection of beads from across the globe: glass, silver, bone, semiprecious stones, and more. The findings needed to craft your own jewelry are available, and the staff will provide all the support you'll need. It's a great activity for all ages; plus, the store is a block from Main Street, it's air-conditioned, and there's a putting green out back for those who might not be captivated by your creative process.
