Moshup Beach (public)

I adore this beach. Often good swimming.... Although look out for man-o-war. The cliffs are spectacular and the rocks make a soothing sound as they roll in the surf.

If you haven’t visited Acquinnah/Moshup during your visit to Martha’s Vineyard, your trip is incomplete. If you have visited the Acquinnah overlook, but fail to make that hike down to Moshup Beach, you really missed out. Moshup beach is so unique and picturesque. It is kept at most pristine condition by totally being devoid of commercial activities. Thank god! Walking along the beach feels like you’re in another planet. Watching the magnificent cliff, browsing through all those unique rocks and marveling when that clean, crisp waves collide with awesome geographical formations. It is such an awesome experience I haven’t had anywhere in the world. There’s a parking lot near the beach, but I strongly recommend you to park at Acquinnah overlook and take a hike down the beach. The hike itself is another awesome experience. I am running out of adjectives to describe the beauty of it. Experience it yourself.

Gorgeous beach with beautiful sandy and rocky colourful cliffs. Absolutely recommend walking up north to the cliffs! Not a lot of people are there and it is absolutely peaceful. The rocks in the water feel magical Small note; some parts of the beach up north might be nudist, but no signs pointed to this so really not sure!

Beautiful and simple hike down to the beach on an accessible walk path. I thought from reviews it would be more of a hike and I’m not a huge fan of uphill hikes but coming up wasn’t bad at all. Beautiful views from the beach of the cliffs.
