Originally referred to as “the gaily-colored head of the island” by sailors, Gay Head (Aquinnah) is the western-most town on Martha’s Vineyard rightly famous for its National Landmark lighthouse and multi-colored clay cliffs. A trip to the cliffs is surely a treat and on good days, views of the Elizabeth Islands (including Cuttyhunk) and towns as far away as Newport, Rhode Island are visible to the naked eye.

A Prime Piece of the Otherwise Private North Shore. The 300 plus acres of the Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary, a Sheriff’s Meadow Foundation property, include a dramatic point of shoreline, where the tide rips and the fish bite. (No swimming allowed at this beach, by the way). But it’s much more than a rare access point to the north shore. There are rocks and trees and plants and things, there are ponds and trails and views.
