West Tisbury is bordered by [[Vineyard Sound]] to the northwest, Tisbury to the northeast, Edgartown to the east, the [[Atlantic Ocean]] to the south, and [[Chilmark, Massachusetts|Chilmark]] to the west, and includes the regions known as [[Lambert's Cove]] and [[Makonikey]]. The town also shares a common corner with [[Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts|Oak Bluffs]], where the two towns meet with Tisbury and Edgartown.

[[File:Marthasvineyard-Westtisbury-Agfair.jpg|thumb|The annual agricultural fair held in West Tisbury.]]West Tisbury is mostly rural, with more forestation to the north and east and most of the town's agrarian areas around the brooks that feed into Tisbury Great Pond and its surrounding ponds. The Sound side of town also has several ponds; none are nearly the size of the bodies of water on the Atlantic side. There are several refuges and reservations around town, the largest being the Long Point Wildlife Refuge just east of Tisbury Great Pond. The town is also home to approximately half of the [[Manuel F. Correllus State Forest]], which dominates the center of the island.

Just south of the forest lies [[Martha's Vineyard Airport]], which the town shares with Edgartown (although the facilities are mostly in West Tisbury). The airport provides regional service to airports on the mainland and at Nantucket.
