Moshup Beach

Moshup Beach captures the best of Martha’s Vineyard beaches but without the throngs of people. Visitors often unwisely overlook Moshup Beach for more popular landmarks along the vineyard, so the long stretches of sandy shore are usually free for you to peruse and admire at your liking. The beach’s flawless white sands are contrasted sharply by steely grey cliffs and baby blue skies – a great backdrop for a leisurely barefoot stroll. And for the truly adventurous (and unblushing) beachgoer, Moshup Beach has areas for sunbathing in the nude.

Cape May

An old-fashioned beach with hometown charm, Cape May is the oldest seaside resort in America. But don’t let this beach’s age fool you – Cape May retains its classic charm without sacrificing the modern luxuries. Spend a day at the spa, charter a fishing boat, explore the local farmer’s market or scream like a little girl on one of Cape May’s ghost tours.
