**Fictional Setting: **Aided by its distinctive John Williams soundtrack Steven Spielberg's epic, has been cited as one of the greatest movies of all time. It tells the story of a vicious man-eating shark that terrorises the shoreline of a New England island named Amity.
True Location: The majority of the film's scenes were indeed shot in New England. The Summer Colony of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts served as the film's fictional setting of Amity. Vineyard Haven Harbour, the streets of Edgartown and and the shorelines of South Beach and Oak Bluffs were all captured during filming.
Nearby: If you're looking for a place to unwind, cruise less than 20 nautical miles east to the island of Nantucket, which is home to the elegant White Elephant hotel. Yachts up to 76 metres can navigate the tricky turn around the lighthouse to moor in Nantucket Boat Basin.
