Elegant Edgartown is known for its pristine streets, classic New England architecture, and whaling-era history. On Church Street, visit the renowned Carnegie Heritage Center or enjoy free time to explore the local shops, cafés, and eateries.
You'll loop past the stately Harbor View Hotel, offering stunning views of the Edgartown Lighthouse, and travel down Beach Road. Hear about the island's vibrant cultural heritage, including its connection to prominent figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ralph Lauren, and the significance of Inkwell Beach to the town's African America community.
