South Beach, Massachusetts, United States


4.5 (489 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Martha's Vineyard Beaches

A pretty nice Ocean BEach

South Beach is a nice ocean beach with soft sand (as opposed to most of the other beaches on the island). The day we went the waves were incredibly calm which was surprising reading about the surf on here (though we did see a seal pop up). I will say, this was definitely the most crowded beach I had been to while here in MV (State Beach was much less full!) so for that reason I docked a star. Plenty of free parking, bathrooms and lifeguards if you feel you need that. However, if you're looking for emptier beaches, probably not the spot.

    Nice beach but no social distancing
    We love going to South Beach but this year we were forced to leave mid-day due to over crowding. Most families were very, very good about social distancing but the younger crowds drove us from the beach. Far too close for our comfort. We arrived at 10am and got about 2 hrs of beach time before we were forced out. Just an FYI.
