Martha's Vineyard, Island in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States.
Located south of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard extends across 100 square miles with rolling hills, forests, sandy beaches, and six distinctive coastal towns.
The Wampanoag Native Americans named this land Noepe before British settlers established communities centered on farming, fishing, and whaling industries in the 1600s.
The island maintains strong artistic traditions through numerous galleries, theaters, and seasonal festivals celebrating literature, music, film, and local craftsmanship.
Regular ferry services connect Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs, while seasonal flights operate from major cities to Martha's Vineyard Airport.
The collection of Victorian-era cottages in Oak Bluffs features intricate wooden trim details and colorful paint schemes dating from the Methodist summer camp era.

Cinema transforms real places into legendary sets, and some filming locations have become as famous as the movies themselves. From Hobbiton in New Zealand, with its round-door houses built for Tolkien adaptations, to the Nabataean temple of Al Khazneh in Jordan, memorable from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, these sites showcase the intersection of fiction and reality. Film enthusiasts can walk beneath the hundred-year-old beech trees of The Dark Hedges in Northern Ireland, a scene from Game of Thrones, seek out Platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross Station in London, or explore the Tunisian landscapes that brought Tatooine in Star Wars to life. Other destinations include Alcatraz prison in San Francisco, the deserted island of Monuriki in Fiji, where Cast Away was filmed, or the streets of Salzburg that hosted The Sound of Music. These locations offer visitors the chance to relive iconic scenes and understand how filmmakers utilized authentic sites to craft unforgettable cinematic worlds.
