“A favorite serene setting in Oak Bluffs”

Aug 2023

I went both solo and with family to enjoy the light house and to enjoy the beautiful views.

“Neat Old Lighthouse, Beautiful Views”

Oct 2021

The East Chop Lighthouse is a nice walk from the downtown part of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard.

Only if you like riding the bus...

Jul 2021 • Friends

Do not waste your time thinking this is one of those iconic lighthouses you are going to get your picture made in front of. It is literally sometimes residence. You will stop...if your bus has time...in a neighborhood and see a house that is by a lighthouse. Much better view of this from the ferry.

Go to Acquinna

May 2013 • Couples

Don't waste your valuable day, go out to the Acquinna light house and then Philbin Beach on the other end of MV.

Great View

Sept 2019

Clearly a nice view. Wished there were better places to park to walk around. But overall a great site to visit.

Late afternoon beauty

Oct 2018

One of the four on the island. Can walk all around, see the bluffs. And late afternoon allows for some beautiful light. Highly recommended.

One more closed lighthouse on our Cape Cod trip...

Sept 2018 • Couples

We walked here from town in the rain just because there was literally nothing else to do and our ferry was cancelled for rough weather. It was an interesting, residential walk and a good view of a different part of the bay. Go for that reason only.

Another excellent lighthouse to visit during your travels.

Sept 2018 • Couples

Parking is right in front. Excellent photo ops as you can see with our photos below and everyone else's too. Nice little stroll in the back overlooking the water. Very pleasant. Easy to find. Pick a blue sky day if possible during your visit to the area. Enjoy!

A favorite MV lighthouse to visit with kids or those with mobility concerns

Aug 2018 • Family

This lighthouse is located in an easy to get to location, making it a favorite for our family with young children. The kids love watching the ferries and boats go by and also running around on the lawn behind the lighthouse.

Great sunset view

Jul 2018 • Family

I would like to retract a previous review that I left saying this was not worth visiting as you can only drive by. We just learned that this lighthouse is open frm 7-9 pm on Sunday nights during the summer and revisited during this time. I am so glad we did. The view from the lighthouse was spectacular and the sunset superb. We enjoyed climbing to the top of the lighthouse and playing outside in the field that surrounds the lighthouse. I would highly recommend visiting when the lighthouse is open.

Beautiful Views!

Whether walking on East Chop or driving by, there is a wonderful lookout point at the East Chop lighthouse .

It is a treat to see such a traditional New England lighthouse -- but the view of the Sound is also wonderful-

Definitely worth the stop!
