Lucy Vincent is another must-visit destination on your beach tour. This stunning beach is sure to leave a lasting impression, with its pristine waters and picturesque surroundings. And with our passes, you’ll have the opportunity to experience this treasure like never before.

Your beach bliss starts just outside your door and leads you across the dunes to the serene beauty of Menemsha Beach. Relax on the soft sand, soak in the laid-back island vibe, and enjoy fresh seafood in this historic fishing port that has been thriving for over 300 years.

As our valued guest and seasonal resident of Chilmark, you’ll have exclusive access to two beautiful Atlantic beaches, reserved only for residents. Picture yourself with your toes in the soft, pristine sand, listening to the gentle sounds of the rolling waves, and enjoying breathtaking views that fill your heart with joy.

MENEMSHA BEACH

Nestled in a quaint, working fishing village, Menemsha Beach is a true Vineyard treasure. While its calm waters are perfect for a refreshing swim during the day, it’s the legendary sunsets that truly capture the heart. Guests and locals alike gather here as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in a breathtaking palette of orange, pink, and purple. The rhythmic clinking of masts in the harbor and the scent of fresh sea air create a magical, unforgettable atmosphere. This isn’t just a beach; it’s an authentic island tradition.

LUCY VINCENT BEACH

Welcome to one of the most exclusive and breathtaking beaches on Martha’s Vineyard. As a guest, your beach pass is your key to the unique beauty of Lucy Vincent Beach. Famous for its stunning, multi-colored clay cliffs, this is a place of dramatic natural artistry. Here, the soft, pristine sand meets calm waters, while the towering, sculpted cliffs provide a stunning backdrop. It’s a serene, secluded escape where you can truly feel the untouched magic of the island.

SQUIBNOCKET BEACH

For a more rugged and dramatic shoreline, a visit to Squibnocket Beach is a must. Tucked away at the edge of Chilmark, this private, resident-only beach offers a wilder beauty that sets it apart. Here, the waves are often more powerful, crashing against a shoreline of smooth stones and sand, making it a favorite spot for surfers and beachcombers alike. Surrounded by windswept bluffs, Squibnocket is a place to feel the true, untamed spirit of the Atlantic.

Moshup Beach is a public beach that should not be missed. With its soft sand and good surf, this beach is perfect for those seeking a little excitement. And with the stunning Aquinnah Cliffs as the backdrop, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard.

Last but not least, Lobsterville Beach offers miles of tribal beach that you can easily access by riding your bike down the hill to the Menemsha Bike ferry. This beach is perfect for those seeking a little more privacy and seclusion.

So what are you waiting for? Visit us and get exclusive access to some of the best beaches on the island. Create memories that will last a lifetime!
