They must have 6 picnic benches with most of them in the shade which is very beneficial. Also have plenty of park benches too. The grass area is also very nice. It's not huge but enough for kids to run around and have a good time. The big toy is aged, but still very nice and they have toddler swings. Yes, the beach isn't large, as it is the same size as it was 30 years ago. They have the are roped off. There is plenty of beach are for kids to play in the sand. There are life guards there too...

For an alternative, they're also stairs. Beware of a sign located on the right, that reads, "End Public Beach," because of private property.

The rough tide makes it nearly impossible to swim or do anything, but our dog went nuts and LOVED every wave that came crashing into him; nearly sweeping him away at times. The beauty of being isolated and alone with no facilities, no people or lifeguards or anything, gives this beach a very particular feeling of freedom and peace. Initially thinking we made a mistake going out to the west end of the island, we greatly enjoyed it, and made some unique memories strolling the shoreline.

At the risk of sounding like a snob, the beach road doesn't have a sign for a reason. Do not take the car, bus, or bike here thinking you are just going to get in. I am not being an elitist. I'm just saying you will be wasting your time. Also, I'm sick of seeing reviewers on other sites trash this beach just because they rode their bike onto the ferry and expected to cycle across the Island to swim here. Don't be a dumbass and crash through the tick-infested hillside trying to sneak in, either. Park Rangers guard this beach, so if the ticks don't get you, they will. If you are fortunate enough to get your hands on a beach sticker, I highly recommend it. Aside from being flanked by the Vineyard's only nude shoreline, this beach is one-of-a-kind. Gorgeous clear water, waves that can get absolutely humongous, clay cliffs, and the long stretch of sparsely-populated sand that comes with the exclusivity of resident-only beach rights.
