Marthas Vineyard, Massachusetts Cruise Port

• One of the most popular destinations on the island is Edgartown Lighthouse, both picturesque and easy to reach. With renovations completed in 2007, the interior is now open to visitors. The tour guides are knowledgeable and friendly, and the view from both the top and bottom is excellent.
   
• The three mile-long Katama Beach (also called South Beach) is a favorite beach which is open to the public. Noted for its fine surf on one side and protected salt pond on the other, it tends to be less busy than some of the other beaches, probably because there's a bit of a hike to reach it if you've arrived by car.
   
• The small town of Aquinnah is home to the beautiful clay Aquinnah Cliffs. The rainbow-colored cliffs and nearby beach are great for a nature walk, and the town itself is a center of Wampanoag culture.
   
• If you want to be part of the action, hang around Circuit Avenue in Oak Bluffs. Along with shopping, dining, and people watching, it's a short walk to the pier and ferry. And if you're into ice cream, you'll have no shortage of places to get cool, sweet treats under the summer sun.
