Nice. A few months ago I found out about more beaches that were destinations for black Americans outside of Inkwell in Martha’s Vineyard. I’ve been planning to visit some in my area since I’m staying local these next 4 years. It’s been hard getting to the beach this summer though with flood watches and thunder storms every evening.
