Aquinnah Cliffs and Gayhead Lighthouse.

Thursday, July 18, 2019

Magnanomous. 
One of the must see locations on the island is Aquinnah Cliffs, the home of Gayhead light house. Preparing to get there is slightly complicated seeing as wifi on the island is really a struggle. Driving up consists of long hilly roads with an impeccable view of small ponds and other small boats. Once you arrive, finding parking is difficult not to mention that you are only allowed 1 hour to park.  Walking up to the viewpoint is simple and there are some cute shops and a few places to grab a bite to eat. On the opposite side of the viewpoint there is a trail that directs you to Gayhead lighthouse, a light house that was created with clay from the cliffs themselves. The lighthouse had to be physically moved back closer to the land because of the erosion of the cliffs, as you can still see the place that the light house originally was. You can travel all the way up to inside the light itself and see all of the islands from the top. There is a small beach at the bottom of the cliffs (granted you paid for parking in the far away lot). 




Enjoy the journey.
