GAY HEAD Known as "Aquinnah" by the Wampanoag tribe, Gay Head is home to the clay head cliffs, a geological record of the earth's million-year evolution. In the midst of the cliffs is the Gay Head Lighthouse, a favorite subject for photographers and artists. WEST TISBURY This is a farming community boasting a farmer's market, a scenic swan pond, and a general store. The natives called this place "Takemmy", which loosely translates as "Where anybody goes to grind corn." Artists and poets are drawn to this end of the Island largely due to the bucolic seclusion.
