The Trustees of Reservations has announced that it will allow free admission to its beaches on Martha’s Vineyard for walkers and bicyclists this summer.

The Trustees is also working to make its beaches more accessible to people of all abilities by installing special kayak and transfer benches at Long Point and a floating beach wheelchair and mobi-mat at Wasque. 

The Trustees hopes the new policy will invite more people to enjoy and appreciate its property. “The Trustees is one of the largest managers of publicly accessible beaches on Martha’s Vineyard,” wrote Darci Schofield, Trustees Director for the Islands, in a statement. “Our places are for everyone, forever. We are creating new and diverse opportunities to visit our beaches.”
