Chappaquiddick is a small, isolated island located off the eastern shore of Martha's Vineyard in southern Massachusetts. It is part of the town of Edgartown, Massachusetts. As of the 2000 census, Chappaquiddick had 172 full-time residents and 475 homes. The island became quite well known in July, 1969 when U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy was involved in an accident on the island's Dike Bridge. Chappaquiddick is reached by privately owned ferries that depart daily from Edgartown (on Martha's Vineyard.) Two ferries run during the summer and one during the off-season, and they carry passengers, bicycles and up to three cars at a time. Chappaquiddick is home to only one business - a combination general store and auto repair shop. Tourists mostly come to visit the MyToi Gardens, a small Japanese garden on the island, and to visit Dike Bridge. There is also a Wampanoag Indian reservation on the brush land of the island's interior. The Wampanoags were the original inhabitants of the island. The island's residents are a tight-knit group who are very independent from the rest of Martha's Vineyard - and the rest of the country, for that matter. Longtime residents say they are "going to the mainland" when they travel to Edgartown and "going to America" if they need to travel to Boston or further inland.

Chappaquiddick Weather & Climate

Martha's Vineyard has a four-season climate, with milder winters and cooler summers than places further inland. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean brings changeable weather to this region. It has plenty of sunshine, but rain and fog are not uncommon - even in the summertime. Spring is a short season on Martha's Vineyard and snow is possible even in April. Summers are quite warm and humid, but with cooling ocean breezes. Fall is often the most pleasant with mild, sunny days and cool, crisp nights. Extreme weather is possible, such as severe thunderstorms, nor'easters and hurricanes. However, hurricanes generally weaken to a tropical storm by the time they reach Martha's Vineyard.
