We love hopping in the car and taking it over to Chappaquiddick for a little escape from Edgartown. One of our favorite ways to spend the day is driving around the island, stopping by the par 3 course (and of course the pro shop!) for a little friendly competition. The beaches on Chappy are some of the best—Wasque Point is our favorite for its peaceful vibe and stunning views. -
