Edgartown Harbor Light, Maritime beacon in Edgartown, United States.
The cast-iron conical tower stands at the entrance of Edgartown Harbor and Katama Bay, featuring a red flashing light with a range of 6 nautical miles.
The original wooden lighthouse from 1828 was destroyed by a hurricane in 1938, leading to the installation of the current structure from Crane Beach in 1939.
The Martha's Vineyard Museum maintains the lighthouse, presenting exhibits about the maritime traditions and whaling history of the Edgartown community.
Visitors can access the lighthouse during weekends from May to October and weekdays in July and August to climb the spiral staircase to the observation deck.
Sand accumulation around the stone causeway transformed the former artificial island location into a connected beach area accessible by foot.
