The Aquinnah cliffs overlook required about a 20+ minute drive out from Vineyard Haven. The trip out was very scenic. Much of that side of the island is forested and kept very wild. Old stone walls bordered sometimes both sides of the road added to the charm. We saw lots of turkeys and our bus almost hit one that consequently decided to cross and take its chances with the unsuspecting runner on the other side of the road! The overlook itself required a short uphill walk, but the view is incredible. There is a restaurant at the top which smelled delicious and boasted a large deck with picnic tables overlooking the ocean at which to enjoy your meal. Unfortunately they had closed by the time we decided to eat, so I can’t vouch for the food, but some fellow travelers said they enjoyed it. There was a scenic downhill walk to the beach with a parking lot halfway down for easier access. They had nice clean bathrooms near the beach and porta potties for when the bathroom closed in the evening. Don’t forget to tip the nice lady who meticulously cleaned between each guest! It was a great beach at which to play, walk, and relax, and well worth the trip out. One special thing about this beach is the incredible sound the tumbling rocks make as each wave washes onto shore! It was a sound I’ve never heard before! ( there were plenty of nice sandy spots as well if you don’t enjoy the rocks)! Just don’t rely on the bus schedules for getting back from the overlook. The buses tended to be very unreliable for us (probably due to lack of help like so many other businesses) and they canceled the 6 and 7:00 pickup times with no warning and left 16+ people stranded at the cliffs till the last bus —at 8:15 (if that one even showed up)with nothing open but a small convenience store. It was run by a very sweet lady and turned out to be a life-saver for us and our 4 very hungry kids. We and our impromptu new “friends” had to collectively order an Uber and a 12 passenger van to get us all back to our ferry on time. It worked out fine for everyone involved—thanks to my awesome husband and one cell phone that got reception from way up on the hill, but I definitely recommend bringing your own car to this amazing spot—or at least having a back up plan if you are relying on public transportation.
