Hank,

You should plan on taking one day to go to Martha's Vineyard. You can get to 4 or 5 Lighthouses there in the space of the day. I'd suggest either taking your car over or making arrangements to rent one for the day over there. You can also depend on the bus or the taxi service on the island.

You can walk out to Edgartown if the tide is right.

Gay Head you can't get right up to, but you get a good look at it. East chop you can walk right up to, while West chop you can see from the street. It's still used as housing for Coast guard . Unfortunately the tour out to Cape Poge may not have started yet so your only other options are to walk the 3 miles one way or rent a 4 wheel drive vehaicle and pay a heavy fee for a permit to drive out there.

You can stop at Nobska on the way to or from the Ferry to Martha's Vineyard.
