&lt;a href="http://www.swimnem.org/wordpress/"&gt;www.swimnem.org/.../&lt;/a&gt;
 
I&amp;#39;d be interested too, out of curiosity. I&amp;#39;ve never been there (New Englander); have been to Nantucket, where the undertows on some beaches on the ocean side of the island can be prohibitive.
 
The NEM site identifies organized swimming by town; under MA I recognized Vineyard Haven as on the Vineyard.
 
Here&amp;#39;s a beach listing, with modest amount of info:
