Gay Head Beach, commonly known as Moshup Beach after the ancient Wampanoag legend, is a public beach that extends from Philbin Beach to just before the Cliffs. There is a fifteen dollar parking fee throughout the summer months and the beach is just a ten minute walk along a sandy trail from there. Popular among the surfing community, Gay Head Beach is a destination for locals and visitors alike and offers magnificent views of the Cliffs. In the past, beach-goers were permitted to climb the Cliffs and take clay from their base. Now however, in order to preserve them by preventing further erosion, this is now prohibited. Gay Head Beach is located just off of Moshup Trail in Aquinnah. Farther down the beach there is a section that allows nude sunbathing and swimming; it is one of Marthas Vineyard only nude beaches. There are public restrooms for beach-goers located near the entrance.
