Amazing cliffs seen as it best in full sunlight. During a 3,5 hours SUP/paddleboard tour I did enjoy every minute of it. Bus #5/6 took me in 50 minutes from Edgartown to Nashaquitsa Pond, starting point of the tour. Even in high season with best weather conditions you won’t find tourists on this pond. Same goes for Menemsha Pond which is connected and gives access to the open waters. Following the coastline anti-clockwise you are mainly in flat waters of Menemsha Bight you will find the best spots for sunbathing. Clearing the far west corner of the Isle you can already see the amazing cliffs. However wind and water flow made this last part of the tour the most challenging one and only for experienced paddle boarders. In hindsight the better option was to paddle the tour clockwise. After deflating the SUP at Moshup beach it is a 15’ walk via a upslope trail to the shops and Aquinnah sightseeing spot.

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 (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.
