Norton Point Beach

As of April 1, 2023, Norton Point Beach is no longer under Trustees management. It has been our privilege for nearly two decades to welcome the public to and steward this critical barrier beach habitat, a role that the Town of Edgartown has taken on, with Mass Audubon working as their partner for shorebird monitoring.

We hope to see you at Long Point, Wasque, Leland Beach, or Cape Poge—all Martha’s Vineyard beaches that The Trustees continues to own and/or manage.
