Plan from Aquinnah

Aquinnah (formerly Gay Head) is the Vineyard’s westernmost town and is partly tribal land of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head. The clay cliffs and the relocated 1856 lighthouse anchor it. Moshup Beach below the cliffs is the public Atlantic-side beach (with a long walk from the lot); Lobsterville faces the Sound on Menemsha Pond’s mouth.
