The ‘Tisbury Great Pond’ on the south coast in West Tisbury is a brackish water ecosystem. Water from the Atlantic Ocean flows into the pond several times a year. The body of water is located outside the ‘Long Point Wildlife Refuge’. https://greatpondfoundation.org/tag/marthas-vineyard/

Long Cove Pond on the south coast in West Tisbury is located in the Long Point Wildlife Refuge and is a freshwater ecosystem. Storm waves in December 2023 flooded the barrier beach to the Atlantic and seawater flowed into the pond. As a result of the sudden influx of seawater, fish died. https://greatpondfoundation.org/tag/marthas-vineyard/

With soft, golden sand and shallow water, Joseph Sylvia State Beach is a popular hangout spot on Martha's Vineyard. The beach extends 5 miles (8 km) between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. It's public and not privately owned like many of the island's beaches. On one side, the Atlantic Ocean glistens into the horizon and on the other, Cow Bay stretches around the coast. It's popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing when the weather is right.

Right where Lake Tashmoo and the Atlantic Ocean meet, you'll find this little gem hidden away, but definitely worth the effort to visit. In addition to taking a dip, you can relax while watching the boats come and go.

If you take the trail from Stoney Hill Rd, you'll eventually reach this hidden treat. A secluded spot where you can unwind and enjoy the tranquility offered by the charm of the surrounding nature.

After a mile through woods on a gravel road I was treated to this stunning refuge with access to ocean and salt water pond surrounded by dunes and salt marsh vegetation. Be aware that the posted route indicates a return road that is not accessible so have to retrace some of your steps and definitely need gravel or mountain bike to visit but well worth it. And set aside at least a small amount of time to walk into the refuge as you cannot take your bike beyond the parking area.

Long Point Wildlife Refuge is one of the largest publicly accessible properties on Martha’s Vineyard. It is all that remains of a broad prairie with scattered woods formed after the last ice age. Throughout the 18th century, settlers developed farms, cleared land, hunted and fished in coastal ponds, and harvested hay.
