No, beaches on MV are not segregated anymore.

Except by $$$. And even more $$$$$.

A little history:

The Inkwell, Martha’s Vineyard (1890s- )

... Also by 2010, workers from Brazil and eastern European countries have replaced the African American service class. The small African American leisure community that first evolved in Oak Bluffs has now spread across all of Martha’s Vineyard and includes far more people. The community life they now share revolves around social activities anchored by family ties, university affiliations, sorority and fraternity networks, and professional and business relationships. President Barack Obama and his family are perhaps the most famous recent vacationers. They stayed in Oak Bluffs for their summer vacation in 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Worth a read if, like our family was, unawares of such "black" beaches on MV. Makes sense though.
