Edgartown Lighthouse, Massachusetts, United States
4.5 (609 reviews) Monday: Spent < 1 hour Ranking #2 in Martha's Vineyard Lighthouses
Destination goal for Edgartown.
The Martha's Vineyard Museum is privileged to be the steward of three of the Island's lighthouses. The East Chop, Edgartown, and Gay Head lighthouses are not only historic reminders of a bygone age, but are working beacons that still send a light out into the night. Beyond their important functional role, these structures also offer visitors spectacular views of the breathtaking beauty of Vineyard Sound, the simple elegance of Edgartown Harbor & Chappaquiddick, and the majestic cliffs of Aquinnah. Major renovations completed in 2007, including installation of a staircase to the lantern room, allow the interior of the Edgartown Light to be open to visitors. A lighthouse keeper will be available and the doors will be open during designated hours. Parking is available, but limited, on North Water Street. The Vineyard Transit Authority (VTA) busses drop off on Church Street in Edgartown. It is a 5-10 minute walk to the lighthouse from this location.

scenic lighthouse
Scenic, tranquil, picturesque. We visited this location with our pup and watched seagulls dropping shells. No crowds (off-season) and easily accessible down trail in a neighborhood. Free on-street parking was a little hard to find but doable.

Edgartown Lighthouse
Iconic lighthouse of Edgartown, was the perfect foreground for morning sunrises from our hotel. The adjacent beach is clean and uncrowded, but located on the Edgartown boat channel...convenient for a quick visit, but not where I'd plan a beach-day.
