Edgartown is at once the most historic and sophisticated town on the island. Its working waterfront is one of the foremost yachting centers in the world, and its main streets are lined with stately sea captains' mansions, art galleries, chic shops and restaurants.

Start with 82 miles of pristine sandy beaches and a greater variety of vegetation than any other place of its size in North America. Add a town center with a rich sense of history, including cobblestoned streets and more than 800 homes built prior to the Civil War.

Combine this with rose-covered cottages of weathered shingle, fog-cloaked shores and a casual atmosphere that belies the wealth of many summer inhabitants. < more >
