Norton Point Beach served as a connecting strip of land between Martha's Vineyard and Chappaquiddick until 2007, when a strong storm breached the barrier. Today, Norton Point can be reached from the Vineyard and still functions as a gathering spot for summer swimming, sunbathing, clamming, fishing, and picnicking.
There are 4.5 miles of beautiful trails providing the opportunity for hiking. In the fall, migrating birds flock to the island to rest and eat on their way south, making it a perfect place for birdwatching. The beach is open 24 hours a day, all year, with occasional closures for storm damage.
