This beach is nothing but a small patch of sand surrounded by water. The sunset might be amazing, but let's face it, you can see a beautiful sunset from anywhere. As for being kid and family friendly, what beach isn't? Don't waste your time with this overrated spot.

Attention all travelers, behold a charming and picturesque beach, accompanied by a delightful harbor. The beach boasts a unique blend of rocky terrain and scenic beauty, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll. The pier is ideal for fishing enthusiasts, while the breathtaking views of Lobsterville Beach are an absolute treat for the eyes. Don't forget to explore the downtown area of Menemsha, which is home to a plethora of shops and a mouth-watering fish store/restaurant known as Larsens. Treat yourself to a delectable lobster roll and revel in the stunning views. This is a must-visit destination that we highly recommend. In summary, a wonderful beach and marina experience awaits you!

Martha's Vineyard is a picturesque and tranquil town, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Don't miss out on the delicious lobster roll and chowder at the fish market before taking a leisurely stroll down to the beach. The scenery is breathtaking and the atmosphere is serene, making it an ideal spot to unwind and soak up the sun.

This beach is a perfect location for a delightful family outing and to witness the breathtaking sunset. The children thoroughly enjoyed their time at this beach and with a bit of luck, you can secure a parking spot for yourself as well. The beach is immaculate and the restrooms are well-maintained, making it a pleasant experience for everyone. Additionally, the seafood options available are exceptional and worth trying out.

The beach is a mediocre spot to catch a glimpse of the sunset. It's a hassle to find a parking spot, and if you're not there early enough, you'll be out of luck. The crowds are overwhelming, and the noise pollution ruins any chance of enjoying the peaceful scenery. Overall, it's not worth the effort to visit this overrated location.
