Chappaquiddick Island is the vacation destination with the changing coastline. "Chappy," as it is called by the 179 locals who live there year-round, contains 18 square miles of beautiful beaches, salt marshes, and coastal inlets.

This tiny, secluded part of Edgartown is the perfect place for a relaxing, low-key beach vacation.

Even travelers who want a more active vacation will find plenty to do on Chappaquiddick Island, including walking trails, fishing, bird watching, and kayak tours. Ferry service from the mainland is available year-round, weather permitting.
