Chappaquiddick, Edgartown

Travellers, chappaquidick is an iconic and gorgeous must-see spot on Martha’s Vineyard. The beach is beautiful and you can drive right on the beach for miles and miles. The views are never ending and they are located in each and every corner of this barrier island. The bay side of the island is gorgeous. The ocean side of the island is gorgeous. There are shells of every sort so shelling is fantastic here. There are live scallops washed up on the shore sitting bucolically in the sand. It is not cheap to get there however. You must pay the trustees $200 to gain access to all their lands on Martha’s Vineyard. It is worth the price. There are other places to go and other beaches to visit. Check it out. We recommend. TLDR gorgeous beach Wilderness.

Stayed on Chappy in 2008 and 2009. I’ve traveled a bit since then, both in the States and abroad. My time on Chappy remains my favorite vacation. The world slipped away for a time. The beaches, the simplicity, my daily walks down the road to the ferry and over into Edgartown before the residents were out and about. Our sunset cocktail hour out on the grass overlooking the water. I still savor every day of my time there.
