If you think the ferry ride from Cape Cod to Martha's Vineyard is a short one wait till you take the ferry from Edgartown to Chappaquiddick; it takes about two minutes to cross the busy little harbor.

In this autumn view from the Chappaquiddick side, the old waterfront of Edgartown is seen at its best. Founded in 1642 and called Great Harbor, it became Edgartown in 1671, and was soon a thriving seaport. Its success produced the beautiful old houses of the waterfront area, soon a thriving seaport. Its success produced the beautiful old houses of the waterfront area, which give us today the setting for fine restaurants, inns, shops, and historic churches.
