Edgartown

Edgartown occupies a sheltered harbor on the eastern side of Martha’s Vineyard, off the Massachusetts coast. It was an important New England whaling port in the 19th century, and its compact center retains white-painted captains’ houses and civic buildings from that era. Edgartown Harbor opens toward Vineyard Sound, while a ferry crosses the narrow channel to Chappaquiddick at the town’s eastern edge. The Edgartown Lighthouse, first established in 1828, stands near the harbor entrance as a familiar coastal marker.
