The island at an easy pace.

Give Edgartown its own time, then make the drive west the day rather than a race between stops.

These are suggestions, not reservations. Open any name for the map or official site, then check current hours and availability.

See and visit

Two very different island days.

The gentle arrival plan: wander, browse and let the harbor set the pace.

The big western-island landscape and the centerpiece of a scenic drive.

Pair it with the cliffs rather than treating it as a separate errand.

A fishing-village finish that makes the westbound drive feel like a real island day.

Eat and linger

A possible west-island lunch while you are already at Aquinnah.

Raw bar, cocktails and a lively Edgartown night.

A second Edgartown choice for oysters and steak.

Best shape for the stay

Give Friday to Edgartown and the inn. On Saturday, do the western drive, choose two or three stops, then come back without trying to fill every hour.
