Description
"Edgartown Harbor Light is a lighthouse located in Edgartown, Massachusetts, United States, where it marks the entrance to Edgartown Harbor and Katama Bay.[2][3][4] It is one of five lighthouses on the island of Martha's Vineyard. The first lighthouse, a two-story wooden structure that also served as the keeper's house, was constructed in 1828. It was demolished, and replaced by the current cast-iron tower, in 1939. Originally located on an artificial island 1/4 miles (~ 400 meters) from shore, the lighthouse is now surrounded by a beach formed, since 1939, by sand accumulating around the stone causeway connecting it to the mainland."

Named for its abundant wild grapes, Martha's Vineyard and subsequently, Edgartown Harbor, was once a home for whalers, smugglers, and pirates, but now teems with tourists and well-to-do year-round. http://www.edgartown-ma.us/."
Nestled south of Cape Cod in the beautiful green-blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Edgartown is larger and more populated than Vineyard Haven, but Vineyard Haven is far more popular with tourists and visitors."
