Your Private Beaches Await

One of the best things about Upper Makonikey’s beaches is privacy. Two secluded beach shores offer all the recreation or relaxation you desire.

Upper Beach is a sight to see. With a gorgeous ocean vista greeting you upon arrival, the view only gets better. Meander the steps through the beach plums and flowers, and the shoreline reveals itself in grand splendor. And come back after dinner for one of the best sunset spots on Martha’s Vineyard.

Lower Beach provides a simpler and more casual excursion. Walk straight onto the beach, pitch your towels, cooler, and umbrella, and swim or stroll along the shoreline. This is the perfect spot for a relaxing beach day with the family, young and old. And in the garage for your convenience, you’ll find beach chairs, boogie boards, pool noodles, an umbrella, and all the gear you’ll need to make amazing sandcastles.
