About
In Martha's Vineyard, The Gay Head Store is a grocery at 33 Aquinnah Cir in Aquinnah, MA 02535, United States. Positioned in the island's westernmost town, it serves the surrounding up-island area where everyday provisions can be harder to find than in the larger down-island villages.

A 5 out of 5 average across 16 reviews reflects a small but highly satisfied customer base, with feedback consistently positive. The shop's Instagram presence at https://instagram.com/thegayheadstore?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== shares updates and glimpses of what is on the shelves.

First-time visitors should expect a compact, practical grocery stop rather than a large supermarket, with the kind of staples and supplies that suit a day out in Aquinnah or a stay in the surrounding up-island area. A daytime visit fits the pattern of a small island grocery, so plan the trip around daylight hours.
Martha's Vineyard sits within the US islands, where climates vary and the warmer southern islands draw visitors year-round, with summer the busiest season. Seafood dominates island menus across the US, from Maine lobster to Florida stone crab, and a grocery stop in Aquinnah can supply the basics for a picnic or a self-catered stay. The island's road network links the down-island towns with the up-island villages, making the store a convenient halt for anyone exploring the western end of Martha's Vineyard.
