The Inkwell Beach, Sand beach in Oak Bluffs, United States.
The Inkwell Beach stretches along the Massachusetts coastline with soft sand meeting clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean in Martha's Vineyard.
During the early 20th century segregation period, this beach became a designated gathering place for African American vacationers seeking recreation on Martha's Vineyard.
Notable figures including Senator Ed Brooke, Vernon Jordan, and Spike Lee have contributed to establishing this beach as a significant African American cultural location.
The beach provides facilities including restrooms, showers, changing rooms, and lifeguard services during peak season, with nearby parking spaces requiring early arrival.
Morning gatherings of the Inkwell Polar Bears group bring together residents of different ages for daily swimming sessions throughout the year.
