Gay Head, Massachusetts, United States

4.5 (147 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Martha's Vineyard Points of Interest & Landmarks

Stand Up Paddling Gay Head

The 10-minute walk from the parking lot is well worth the trek to this spectacular beach with its magnificent multi-colored cliffs, which are a national landmark. The lack of commercialism means a true escape and relaxation, but you'll need to bring food and supplies.

    Beuatiful Beach with Tons O Rocks
    A beautiful large beach in Martha's Vineyard, on the opposite side from the major towns of Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. Parking is free if you go to the main entrance above the cliffs, and walk the long path to the beach. You can also park along the highway or in some smaller designated lots where you need a pass. The beach is beautiful, covered in perfectly smooth and round stones - some worth taking home. During summer this is (use to be?) a nude beach.

    Moshup Beach beautiful
    Moshup Beach (public) After you stroll for what seems like 20 minutes you arrive at the beach sand area. The beach is loaded with rocks so wear your beach shoes. People have made rock cairns from many of the rocks. The view of the water and cliff side walls is outstanding.
