The Island’s iconic beacons include Edgartown Lighthouse, East Chop Lighthouse, West Chop Lighthouse, Gay Head (Aquinnah) Lighthouse, and Cape Poge Lighthouse. Together they represent one of the most diverse groups of lighthouses in a small, contained area in the country, according to lighthouse enthusiasts. Each stands watch over Vineyard Sound, Nantucket Sound, Edgartown Harbor, and the waters of Cape Poge, guiding mariners while serving as enduring symbols of the Island’s rich maritime heritage.

On this episode of Island Tranquility: Boats & Beaches, settle into the gentle rhythm of arrival on Martha’s Vineyard. From the quiet hum of the Steamship Authority as it glides into the harbor, to the soft lapping of water along the piers, every moment invites calm.
Watch sunlight dance across ripples at the shoreline, feel the anticipation build as land comes into view, and drift along long stretches of beach where time seems to slow. This is the Vineyard at its most peaceful, where the journey is just as soothing as the destination.
This series is proudly produced by Jon Ashton Productions.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors for making Island Tranquility possible and to our Chamber members.
