Insider’s Tip: Lambert’s Cove beach is one of the most lovely spots on Martha’s Vineyard. It is invisible from Lambert’s Cove Road, and the small parking lot is restricted to cars with town resident parking permits from mid-June through mid-September. Two things to note: parking is permitted for everyone between mid-September through mid-June, and in season before 10am. It’s a wonderful place to walk for literally miles along the beach, and even has a spot where well behaved dogs can run off-leash. But please, follow the posted rules, especially following the restrictions of no dogs after 10am and cleaning up after your pet.
PUBLIC BUS located in front of West Tisbury Town Hall.
