What is Red Beach (Menemsha Pond) like?
Red Beach is a quiet, sandy beach on Menemsha Pond in Aquinnah, with calm water and boats swinging on their moorings. It's a private, resident-only beach in season: Dukes County's beach guide says a permit from the Town of Aquinnah is required, and the town limits Red Beach parking to holders of its Resident Parking Permit. Visitors and short-term renters should check with the Town of Aquinnah before planning a visit.
