Martha’s Vineyard lives up to its reputation as a quaint and beautiful island town. The seaside village is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches, with waves rolling in from the waters of Cape Cod and the Atlantic Ocean. A beach day is a must when visiting the island, especially if you want to unwind under the summer sun. Discover all the picturesque beaches in Martha’s Vineyard!
Eastville Beach
Eastville Beach is a relatively small beach, but still has excellent opportunities for a serene day in the sand. The waves are minimal, perfect for wading in the water. This is also a prominent spot for fishing in Martha’s Vineyard, especially for bonitos!
Oak Bluffs Town Beach
Also known as Inkwell Beach, Oak Bluffs Town Beach is another excellent spot with calm waves and beautiful views. It’s conveniently located near downtown Oak Bluffs, perfect for taking a dip after exploring the shops and restaurants.
Joseph Sylvia State Beach
For opportunities for a walk along the beach, Joseph Sylvia State Beach has two miles of sand to explore. The shallow water is perfect for windsurfing, and the white sand is soft enough to lay out under the sun. The picturesque beach is also famous for being featured in the classic film Jaws!
