East of Aquinnah is Chilmark, renowned for rolling hills, stone walls, and the picture-perfect fishing village of Menemsha (the set for Steven Spielberg’s film Jaws), with its quaint shops and charming atmosphere. Nearby West Tisbury is considered by many to be a “typical New England Village” with its rural, small-town atmosphere and town center’s historic Alley’s General Store, with its motto “Dealers in Almost Everything”.
