The small fishing village of Menemsha is part of Chilmark, but also a world unto itself. Here, multi-generational fleets are devoted to what lies just beyond the shore. Those not employed on the high seas seek their own catches of sorts from the fish markets, restaurants, and small shops. During the busy summer months crowds flock to the public beach for the famous sunsets.
