Iconically perched on the most south-westerly point of the island of Martha's Vineyard, the Gay Head Lighthouse was the first lighthouse constructed on Martha’s Vineyard. Its grounds and stunning views of Vineyard Sound are worth a visit!

Take the Ferry to Chappaquiddick

If you happen to find yourself in Edgartown, your next great little adventure could be to take the *daring* ferry ride over from the main island of Martha's Vineyard, to the adjacent little island called Chappaquiddick. Don't let the seemingly smaller size of the island fool you! Chappy is a beautiful spot that has a lot to offer anyone willing to brave the ferry trip!

Pick Up Your Black Dog Swag

A visit to Martha's Vineyard isn't complete without picking up a piece of your very own Black Dog swag! With a store front location in almost every town on the island, you'd be hard pressed to miss your chance to shop for a piece with the signature "black dog" emblazoned on it!
