Aquinnah is a town located on the island of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. Prior to 1998 the town was known as Gay Head. The population was 344 at the 2000 U.S. census. It is known for its beautiful clay cliffs and quiet natural serenity, which has become less common in the heavily populated Northeastern United States. The clay cliffs/beach are one of the few nude beaches left in the U.S. More recently, it has become celebrated as a center of Wampanoag culture and a center of pride and tradition among members of the tribe, who make up about one-third of the town's voters.
