East Beach (Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge and Wasque)
Located on Chappaquiddick Island, this is arguably one of the best beaches on the Vineyard. This beautiful and treasured beach is owned and preserved by The Trustees of Reservations, who charge a small fee for nonmembers (children 15 and under, free). Due to restricted access, it's one of the areas most remote shorelines and is an excellent birdwatching venue.
Cape Pogue is only accessible by boat or 4WD vehicle. A ferry does run regularly to here from Edgartown during the season. The surf is usually strong, and no public facilities exist.
