You can see the lighthouse from Water Street, but you need to take the stroll down the path to the lighthouse. If you want to go up in it, it will cost you $5.

The walk there is the best part! It's beautiful, very scenic. The lighthouse looks beautiful in the distance. You get there and a woman is behind a rope asking for $5 for the preservation society in order to climb the stairs. It ruins the moment. Thought - perhaps getting peoples money while they are walking there would feel better to people then getting there and met with that. It feels awful. We all would gladly pay (maybe even more than $5) but being asked for money is at the wrong point in the experience.
The lighthouse is near the ocean and we enjoyed walking past the lighthouse and taking in the beauty of the ocean. A must see and a great photo opportunity. : )
Took a morning walk out to the lighthouse, the street lighting was still on and it was a great walk, this is an easy walk, and is such a great start to the day...
I am a lighthouse buff and so I go to all them when in the area of one. Sits out on the beach in front of the Harbor View Hotel across the water from Chappy. Owned by a non-profit foundation so they asked for a $5 donation to up to the top. Not a tall lighthouse but worth the $5 to see Edgartown from above.
A walk out from the center of Edgartown down to the lighthouse is one of my favorite things to do on the Vineyard. If you can get there for sunrise you will be in for a treat. Have Sunday brunch at The Harborview and enjoy a short walk to the Lighthouse afterwards.
