Squibnocket is a consistent beach break on Martha's Vineyard's south shore that faces northwest toward the Atlantic, catching plenty of swell during autumn and winter swells. The sandy bottom provides forgiving wave shape with peeling rights and lefts that work well for intermediate surfers looking to build skills. Protected somewhat by its location on the Vineyard's quieter side, it offers a more mellow vibe than some of the region's busier breaks.
