    Great beach with good waves to play in. I read one review that said there were bathrooms but where we went there were only porta potties. Certainly better than nothing though!

    The Edgartown Harbor Lighthouse at the end of north Water Street defines the entrance to the Harbor. The harbor is large and entered through a modest sized channel on the North side of Edgartown.
    This lighthouse is certainly worth a photo stop.

    Be brave and take the Chappy Ferry across the short distance to the island. Drive out the dirt road to the bridge where you can park and walk out to the dunes and beach. Take a moment to be amazed at the beauty that is there. It’s remote and natural and absolutely beautiful.

    What a great secret beach that you can access by the public bus in Edgartown. Honestly you can have miles to yourself.

    Lovely place to have breakfast and watch them prepare the bi-plane for the days tours. Later you can walk the perimeter and visit the beach.

    A nice pit stop as we road our bikes to the beach. The staff were friendly and offered us water. The grounds were nice and it was a quick walk through the gardens. Just $5.

    Spent a lovely afternoon exploring the extensive hiking paths. It was great to get out of the crowds and into nature while on Martha's Vineyard. We enjoyed the setting and recommend this for couples and families alike. This is a beautiful spot!

    Saw the interior when on a Preservation Trust tour. I absolutely loved hearing the sound of the bell. The interior is stunning - reminded me of a ballroom.

    This is such a fun island. We had such a fun time at low tide. So many animals and a beautiful lighthouse. It's a great place to walk around and relax

    Located in this old Library building financed by Carnegie on land donated by a resident of Edgartown, this has an interesting and well set out exhibition. It is also where you start a guided tour of some of the properties owned by the Preservation trust which gives you access to some otherwise closed houses and churches. Very informative guide.

    Clearly the happening place on this side of the island. Plenty of seats and cold ones were on hand. They even let you sample them.
