Katama Beach (South Beach), Massachusetts, United States

4.5 (75 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Martha's Vineyard Beaches

Great waves!

Jump the waves or ride the great surf on the Atlantic Ocean side of this three-mile barrier beach, or enjoy a more relaxed pace on the tranquil Katama Bay side, a protected salt pond with lovely views of the bay. Katama is the largest public beach on the island.

Years of visit MV and our first trip here
Wow. We had a perfect beach day here. Probably the best beach I've ever been too. The day was extremely hot but the breeze on the beach kept us cool. It was almost chilly. We parked in the "middle" thanks to an insider tip and found it was hardly crowded. A great beach for waves, people watching and relaxing and reading.

South Beach-Edgartown
You can easily bike to South Beach on the nice wide bike path coming from Edgartown to the beach. There is also a public bus running every 15 minutes. The beach can be crowded during July and August so I suggest walking down the beach a bit. You'll have the beach to yourselves by doing this.
