Alley’s General Store

This island institution in West Tisbury opened in 1858, and is one of those adorable country stores that feels like a movie set but is totally authentic (yes, that’s the town’s post office in front, with rows of gleaming mailboxes). Every conceivable inch of the spacious store is stuffed with items ranging from fishing gear and vintage comics to homemade muffins and penny candy. Stop in for a dose of nostalgia before picking up lunch at 7a Foods next door.
