Latest reviews on Martha's Vineyard island's beaches

Lambert's Cove Beach
10 Maximilian Keller.

This shoreline is a sight to behold, yet regrettably off-limits to the general public during the busiest months of the year.

Katama Beach
8 Rylan Parker

Yet another beach with nothing new to offer, just the same old soft sand and predictable views stretching for miles. How thrilling.

Oak Bluffs Town Beach
8 Jessa Adams

This beach in Cape Cod is usually quite popular with tourists, especially because it's located near OB. It can get quite crowded, but there are public bathrooms and a bus line conveniently located nearby.

Long Point Beach
10 J. K.

This is definitely my preferred beach on the island. However, it's only accessible to a select few, so it's best to book your spot in advance. Additionally, a 4-wheel drive vehicle may be necessary to reach the parking lot.

Lucy Vincent Beach
10 Ethan Rivers

This beach is among the most stunning ones in Massachusetts.

Edgartown Beach
8 Z X

There's a lovely beach located along the road connecting Edgartown and OB.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 7 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
