We pause here briefly to learn about lighthouses and then continue our drive along this picturesque coastal area passing by the West Chop Club and scenic overlook of the Elizabeth Islands. We stop at this overlook for photos!

Aquinnah Cliffs

Walk around the picturesque cliffs that overlook Nomans' and the Elizabeth Islands. Takes pictures of the sound as well as the painted clay cliffs that make this area such a sought after destination. Enjoy some local seafood or burgers while supporting the local Wampanoag population. Ice cream is also available seasonally. Take pictures of the Aquinnah Lighthouse and learn how it was moved, to preserve it from erosion.

We drive along the timeless Main Street area where the Old Whaling Church can be seen as well as the harbor and many of the charming shops and cottages that are so unique to the Edgartown look. We drive to the Edgartown light house and stop in front of the Harbor View Hotel where we will find sweeping views of the outer harbor and discuss the history of the lighthouse.

The tour guide never showed up for the tour and never returned our multiple calls! I would have rated a “0” but that was not an option!

That is correct! We do NOT operate during bad weather as stated when booking. That day it rained so hard it flooded out downtown Edgartown. But more importantly, why did you choose not to return our calls and texts? You chose to ignore the message when booking and the calls to reschedule as well as our efforts to assist…hmmm.
