Lucy Vincent Beach is a scenic surf spot on the south shore of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, facing northwest toward Vineyard Sound and catching south to southwest Atlantic swells that wrap around the island's coastline. The beach produces punchy, fast-breaking waves over a sandy bottom, with conditions varying from mellow rollers on smaller swells to more powerful, hollow sections when larger groundswells hit in fall and winter. Its relative remoteness on the Vineyard makes it a cherished local gem, offering a quintessential New England surf experience with dramatic clay cliffs as a backdrop.
