Amity Island (“Jaws”)
Where it’s at: Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts
The fictional town of Amity may have something of a shark problem, but that hasn’t stopped the summer tourism of its real life location, Martha’s Vineyard. The island is only accessible by boat or plane, but for those looking to set up roots, you’d better be prepared to pay a steep price for it: The cost of living is around 60 percent higher than the national average.
