The Aquinnah cliffs were one of the most spectacular things we saw on our trip and the view from the light house is breathtaking.

This is also know as gay head light. It was just moved about 130 ft to protect it from erosion. It is maintained and you can go in for about $5.

If you're going to tour the lighthouse, shops and have lunch, then park in the lot at the bottom of the hill.…
