Martha’s Vineyard is a profound little Massachusetts Island resting 11 km away from the mainland. It is triangular, with its base- a straight south shore and the northern corner pointing to Falmouth. Among all the northern colonies, the beautiful scenery of Martha’s Vineyard Beaches is undoubtedly the best to feast your eyes on.

No proof is labeled legit on how the name was coined. But it’s popularly known to be named after the English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold’s daughter or mother-in-law, both named Martha.

The cliffs popping with the warm shades offer us a sight we might never see elsewhere. The locals around the beach get to enjoy the long shores with the endless sound of the  Atlantic Ocean. It’s phenomenal how exquisite Martha’s Vineyard beaches are.

About Martha’s Vineyard

There are three different types of beaches in Martha’s Vineyard: public beaches, city beaches, and sacred private ones. Even though the name public beach suggests that it is open to all, every beach isn’t open all the time.

The city beaches in Martha’s Vineyard are open to only a limited number of locals. Permission is required to be granted from the City hall to residents or tourists if they wish to go to any of the secured beaches.

Pets are not allowed on many beaches, and those that do restrict their entry during summer peak time. Make sure to clean up after yourselves to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the beaches.
