Lighthouse Hours Linger

They’re keeping the light on longer up-Island.

Beginning June 18, the Gay Head (Aquinnah) Lighthouse will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The lighthouse will also be open to the public for special weekend sunset hours. From June 24 through August 13, Friday and Saturday evening hours are from 7 to 9 p.m., and from August 19 to September 17 the hours on Fridays and Saturdays are from 6 to 8 p.m.

All lighthouse hours are weather permitting.

Admission is $5 for adults. Martha’s Vineyard Museum members and children under 12 are free.

Also, as part of the expanded hours, the Museum has partnered with the Aquinnah Cultural Center to introduce the Aquinnah Combo Pass. Adults can receive admission to the Cultural Center as well as the Gay Head Lighthouse for $9. Children under 12 are free in both locations. Passes are available in both locations.
