Beautiful lighthouse at the cliffs. We visited during the off season so I am not sure if you can actually go in the lighthouse or not. We were only on the Island for a day trip and we didn’t get to this area until later in the afternoon. We rode the vineyard transit bus there and it was the last one for the day to this area. They allowed us to quickly hop off , run take pictures and then hop back on, so we didn’t get to actually go over to where the lighthouse is. Took pictures from the cliff parking area and as it was the fog had already started to roll in, so it wasn’t the best time to visit, but you could still tell that it was a beautiful lighthouse

This was my favorite lighthouse of the five on Martha's Vineyard. We were there on a beautiful day so it was a great photo-op.

We drove over here from Edgartown for the views and it was lovely. Made the trip in October so the island wasn't too crowded and it was a really pleasant drive and well worth it!

Beautiful grounds. It's worth going up the lighthouse and taking in the view. Gives your trip a nice touch.

This lighthouse is beautiful! The water navy blue and the cliffs so colorful. The crushed shell pathway took us back to when we were children. This is one of the few lights we have been in that you can climb to the top.

how can they "sell" a lighthouse as historic and put a sign that you are "entering sacred territory" when the lighthouse was built a couple of years ago, and from the original one not even saved a stone. It was a really frustrating experience and I think a lack of respect for history and preservation.

The lighthouse is located at the top of Aquinnah Cliffs and is open to the public for a small entrance fee. You can climb to the very top where the revolving light is located. Pretty cool! There is limited, timed parking at this location and I mean timed!! Over stay by just a minute and you'll receive your souvenir parking summons from the Town of Aquinnah! If you're going to tour the lighthouse, shops and have lunch, then park in the lot at the bottom of the hill.

If you’re in Aquinnah and visiting the Cliffs, it might be worth it to take a little trip up the lighthouse for some nice views. It probably shouldn’t cost $6 per person to climb considering how small it is, but it’s a cool site to see.

A must visit when visiting Martha's Vineyard. The lighthouse has great views off the ocean at the top of the cliff. You can go up the stairs of the lighthouse for a fee of 6$ US per person. a

On a clear day, we walked up to the lighthouse and had a beautiful view of the cliffs and ocean. Interesting point - in 2015 due to erosion, it was necessary to move the lighthouse129 feet back from where it was originally built in 1844. Highly recommend.
