Located on Martha’s Vineyard in Tisbury, Wilfred’s Pond Preserve offers views of both the ocean and Wilfred’s Pond. The swimming beach is on the usually calm waters of Vineyard Sound (not on the freshwater coastal pond adjacent to the property). The beach is accessed via a short hiking trail from the parking spaces at the end of the road. Owned and managed by the Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank Commission. Directions: Start at the intersection of Franklin Street and Daggett Avenue. Travel on Daggett Avenue in the direction of Lake Tashmoo for 0.5 miles; turn right onto the second dirt road, which is the Herring Creek Road. It is long; follow it for 0.8 miles to the land bank logo sign, which is located on the right at the driveway entrance. Parking and access are limited and visitors may have to be turned away; please have an alternate destination in mind if you are planning a trip to this property. Dogs on a leash are allowed on the beach during the off-season, September – April.
