| Edgartown Lighthouse |
| Visit Edgartown Lighthouse and enjoy the fabulous views of the ocean, bay, moorland and the harbor. Originally built in 1828, this lighthouse was set on a small man-made island made of granite blocks. However, due to being in a poor condition, it was dismantled and shipped to Edgartown on a barge and this is where it stands today. |
| |
| Menemsha Harbor |
| If you are looking for some peaceful place, away from the hustle and bustle of other towns, Menemsha Harbor is a perfect destination. It is famous for its summertime pleasures. The harbor is itself a study of extremes. You’ll see some luxurious yachts anchored in the harbor and at the end of the day you’ll come across the fishermen bringing in the booty after a hard day’s work. |

| Vineyard Museum |
| The Museum, showcasing the natural history of the region, is located in four buildings dating to pre-revolutionary times. Thomas Cooke House specializes in antiques and folk art, while Foster Gallery displays exhibits from the whaling industry. You can see the Native American exhibits in its Pease Galleries, while Gale Huntington Library houses books on genealogy. |
| |
| Aquinnah Cliffs and Beach |
| A national landmark, the mesmerizing beauty of the cliffs and the surrounding water can best be appreciated on a clear sunny day. Enjoy the spectacular views at the top of these 150-feet cliffs or walk along the sandy shoreline to admire the colorful cliffs from a distance. |
