Menemsha is an idyllic part of the Island. It is a fishing town enveloped by placid blue water and sandy green hills and blessed with the Island’s deepest and most intense sunsets. Menemsha is a fishing village first, and the name does fit with the proud identity of fishermen as the ocean's storytellers.
