3.5 stars. You people dish out 5 stars like they’re candy on Halloween. The top is reserved for truly spectacular beaches. This is an average beach. Pros: Its quiet Light house is beautiful Cliffs are kinda cool The drive up the island is nice Cons: $30+ for parking Long walk down to the beach if you have kids (there is a drop off area which makes things a little easier) Lots of seaweed on the beach Lots of rocks Semi rough sand (not soft like others we’ve been to) Water isn’t clear like other beaches on the island

Travellers, this is a breathe taking beach and a must see if you are visiting Martha’s Vineyard. The clay cliffs are an incredible sight and contrast beautifully with the blue ocean and beige sand. The boulders in the water give the beach a special character that make this beach unique. It is a gorgeous beach walk through the boulders. The sand is smooth and there are lots of shells to pick. This beach has it all! So if you are in the area check it out. We recommend. TLDR gorgeous! Don’t miss!

While the overlook near Gay Head Lighthouse offers the best view of the sunset at Aquinnah (and, in turn, Martha’s Vineyard), the beach offers the best views of the beautiful cliffs that Aquinnah is known for. Not as much of a relax on the sand/go for a swim type of beach (although you certainly could do those things on a nice day), but an excellent place to walk along the shore and admire the beautiful nature around you.

I’m so glad I read the reviews first so I could wear the appropriate footwear (my Keens). Knowing it was at least a .5 mile walk on sand and rock was so helpful. On. I loved the walk to the beach- but if I wore flip flops it would be a different story. Beautiful beach, sat and read my book for over 3 hours. I enjoyed a constant gentle breeze the whole time. I’ll come back, for sure!

Iconic clay cliffs overlook the beach and water on the southwest corner of Martha's Vineyard. You may recognize the landscape from the movie Jaws. It is stunningly beautiful. Stop by the lighthouse for a look down on the beach from above before heading down the trail to the beach and hike along the coast to see the intricacies of the cliffs. Just be warned: the ticks are everywhere.

Great beach! Nice sand and gorgeous rocks! So much fun to look at as you walk the beach! Cliffs are incredible striped colors! Clean bathrooms and port-a-potties available when bathroom closes. Relatively easy access. Nice trail to beach. Watch out for poison ivy along the edges of the trail to beach though. Worth visiting!
