Going Chappy The infamous island is also a nature-lovers paradise
By Diane Vadino
Chappaquiddick is an island off an island. Politically it's part of nearby Edgartown but culturally it's very much its own place. Chappaquiddick is remembered chiefly as the location of Sen. Ted Kennedys 1969 car accident that killed his passenger after he drove off the islands Dike Bridge.
As the notoriety fades, Chappaquiddick is reclaiming its true identity as a nature-lovers paradise. Tour guides can escort visitors through Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge, pointing out the flora and fauna on the shoreline and marshes. Also of note is the Mytoi Japanese garden, a 14-acre preserve filled with azaleas, daffodils and wild roses, as well as walking paths leading through the grounds.
