Lonely Planet review

The multicoloured Clay Cliffs of Aquinnah were formed by glaciers more than 100 million years ago. Rising 46m (150ft) from the ocean, they're a dramatic sight any time of day. The cliffs are a National Historic Landmark owned by the Wampanoag Indians, so it's illegal to bathe in the mud pools at the bottom of the cliffs, or to remove clay from the premises.
