We love this beach-- just beautiful views across the water and Edgartown harbor. Plus, a delightful little lagoon (great for kids) and a picturesque lighthouse. And it never seems to be crowded. Parking can be tricky-- there are a few 2 hour spots right in from near the harbor View Inn, but if you're biking, there are no worries.

This is where the waves happen. Grab a boogie board and an adventurous spirit and take to the water.

Yup, it was filmed here---and we're hoping there are no sharks. This bridge is jam-packed with (mostly teenage) folks taking the plunge. Looks like fun! (though I can't say I've done it)
