Known variously as State Beach, Jaws beach, Bend in the Road, this Vineyard Sound beach is a favorite for families because of the shallow water and lack of waves. Large portions of Jaws was filmed here and jumping off big bridge is a rite of passage for islanders and visitors alike.
An excellent option for families with kids. Very calm water and parking on the road close to the beach. Make sure to have kids use the bathroom before going here, as there are no bathrooms at the beach (though the dunes can suffice in an emergency!).
Two miles of clear, mild beach along Beach Road between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. (The section in Edgartown is called Bend-in-the-Road Beach.) Accessible by bicycle path. Open to all.
Great for swimming. Gets super crowded. Go early or later in the afternoon to avoid crowds.
