A perfect beach day

A perfect day at the beach can be spoiled by leaving your favorite pair of flip flops when leaving for home. Don't for get to gather up your beloved flip flops on leaving the beach.

State Beach is easy. Easy to find. Easy to park. It’s easy to haul the cooler and the carload of beach chairs and windscreens and umbrellas and towels, and it’s easy (and required) to haul out the trash. There’s an easy, though sand-trapped, bike path for the hardy, and the easy-to-ride Vineyard Transit Authority bus. There’s no surf, so it’s easy to swim, and easy for you to let your toddler toddle right into the floppy water.

No quarter-million-dollar “key” is needed, but it would be worth it if it were. State Beach is the Greatest Show on Sand, an exploration of the human species and its love affair with salt water and sun. On an island stippled with “No Trespassing” signs and sheepish teens acting as beach bouncers for plutocrats, State Beach beams instead the signal: “You are welcome here.”
