"We love State Beach. State Beach is more sandy and less harsh on your feet. It’s also a lot more spread out; it goes on for miles. There are markers along State Road, so whoever gets there first will text and tell everyone which marker to go to. State Beach is also famous for Jaws Bridge. Everyone jumps off it."

Easy road parking, best place to take kids, you can sit and watching them all day. No big waves, just a stretch of calm beach. Highly recommend for families.

Easy to get to. Parking nearby unless it's packed, then you'll have to drive, it's accessible by bike and bus Vineyard Transit Authority or if you want easier access take a taxi. No dog's are permitted on the beach, restrooms are the Oak Bluffs Steamship, no restrooms on the beach.

Nice beach. There are lots info rocks here. The rocks are not sharp but they will feel very unpleasant when you walk on them. Recommend bringing swim shoes if you have them.

Seriously one of my favorite placed ever. The surf is low which is great for the family. There are a lot of rocks and collectable things. It's clean. Kids liked walking on the jetties.

One of the most beautiful beach in MV. Crystal clear water, white sands....lots of seashells...during the morning is never crowded (except Sundays) and it happens to be alone at the beach. Really beautiful.

The depth of the beach in some areas is shallow and has somewhat limited parking, but the views and clear water makes the beach a really nice stop for most days. Even a night time visit is a great idea.
