Description
Edgartown Light is one of most visited lighthouses on the Island of Martha's Vineyard which marks teh entrance to Edgartown Harbor. The lighthouse is open to the public from late May to mid-October. The station was originally established in 1828 and it's current lighthouse tower was built in 1881 and marked the entrance to Cranes Beach in Ipswich, MA until it was moved to Edgartown in 1939. It is constructed on cast iron and stands 45 feet in height and features ans modern automatic light flashing res every six seconds. Over the decades, sand gradually filled in the area between the lighthouse and the mainland, so that today Edgartown Light is on a beach.
The Harbor View Hotel overlooks the picturesque site, and wedding parties frequently walk down to the lighthouse for photographs. Edgartown Light also made a brief appearance in the movie Jaws.
