Fodor's Expert Review East Chop Lighthouse
Oak Bluffs
Lighthouse
One of five lighthouses on Martha's Vineyard, the 40-foot structure was built out of cast iron in 1876 to replace an 1828 tower (used as part of a semaphore system) that burned down. While the lighthouse is not currently open to the public, the views of Nantucket Sound from atop the 79-foot bluff are spectacular.
