Fuller Street Beach is a charming public beach located in Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard. It is known for its calm and clear waters, making it an ideal spot for families with young children. The beach is dog-friendly, allowing leashed dogs at all times. Located in the heart of Edgartown, it offers a convenient walk to various shops and attractions, including the Edgartown Lighthouse. The beach itself is a mix of sand, broken shells, and some seaweed, with a picturesque view of Chappaquiddick Island in the distance. It's best visited during the summer months for optimal weather and beach activities, though evenings are less crowded and cooler.
The beach's sheltered location, protected by the curve of Chappaquiddick Island, means strong currents or rip currents are rare. However, biting insects can be present, especially after rain or early in the morning. Visitors can enjoy a serene sunrise due to its east-facing orientation.
Fuller Street Beach is not suitable for thrill-seekers, as it lacks big waves for surfing. However, its tranquil environment makes it perfect for relaxation and family outings.
