We took a daytrip from Boston on the HyLine high speed ferries, and this was a great place to enjoy the ocean without having to take transportation. There is a way to directly access the beach from the pier, cutting your way through a broken wall. But the easier (proper) way is to take the stairs from the overlooking bluff further east. There is a large lifeguard tower, though there was nobody at the beach or in the tower when we got there on a Friday afternoon. It was a rainy day, so even with the high temperaturs (upper 80's), nobody was there until school let out and a group of school kids camped out to enjoy the weather.

It's way out in Aquinnah in a quaint and quiet place actually named Lobsterville. Even in the summer it's not crowded and in the off season you seldom will see another soul. One of the reasons this beach is frequently so quiet is because there is very little parking that is restricted for residents only. However the beach is open to anyone and it's a great place to stop when biking out to Aquinnah and the great lighthouse at the tip. In fact going down Lobsterville Road and then up Lighthouse Road is a nice way to avoiding the busy South Road when biking to the lighthouse. The beach is and water are shallow and protected by land so it's warmer than many of the other beaches but realistically speaking the water is still cold as hell. The beach sometimes has lots of rocks that seem to come and go but sandy areas can usually be found. Great fishing and wind surfing out here during the summer and great views are in every direction. During the colder months the wind frequently howls through this area, agitating the water into angry whitecaps and giving the impression of a wild and pristine place. Not the most gentle, kid friendly or most convenient beach, but definitely one of the most beautiful and ethereal.

There are places to park, (especially if you have a permit). It's not too crowded. The beach has smallish waves if any at all and it slopes out very gently so this would be great for younger children to splash around. As with all beaches on the island, it is very clean. It looks like dogs are allowed as there were several on the beach when we were there.

The beautiful color drenched cliffs, the roaring waves crashing effortlessly against the rocks, and the powdery soft sand caressing my feet made for the ultimate relaxing experience in nature. It was almost surreal. There's a destinated parking lot down the road so anyone with mobility issues may find it hard to access. There were no bathrooms, food, or beverages available unless you make the trek back up to Aquinnah cliffs (15 min walk uphill). There's supposedly a section that's designated as a nudist beach but I didn't see it. Moshup is a bare bones but stunningly beautiful beach, a must see while on Martha's Vineyard!

One thing they do is the controlled burn to maintain the sand plain habit. There is a trail from the summer parking lot to the ponds and shore that is great for spending beach time with the family. The ponds are great for small children. It is a long Walk from the parking areas to the south shore. In the summer they allow you to drop off your beach gear and then park. Fortunately they provide outhouses so you can spend the day in comfort. The property has walking trails, a natural area and the Trustees occasionally work with artists and offer nature and art.

I dropped off family and beach gear at path to beach and parked (not too far). We came to beach because we heard it had good waves and that was true.

Most beaches are free on MV but we were ok with paying to ensure parking and also beach did not feel crowded. We were told ahead of time that pond closed due to algae.
