Edgartown Lighthouse USA Postcard

The Edgartown Lighthouse stands as a historic beacon at the entrance of Edgartown Harbor on the picturesque island of Martha's Vineyard. Originally constructed in 1828 and later replaced by the current cast-iron structure relocated from New Jersey in 1939, this iconic white tower is surrounded by a scenic sandy beach and a wooden walkway, offering panoramic views of Chappaquiddick Island and the Atlantic Ocean. Today, the lighthouse is a cherished symbol of New England's maritime heritage, attracting visitors who walk along the shore to admire its timeless architecture. Surrounded by coastal grasses and the gentle lap of the harbor waves, it remains a focal point of the island's coastal charm, particularly during spectacular New England sunsets.
