Ultra-rich pay $650,000 for Martha’s Vineyard 'beach keys'

Exclusive access to beaches on Martha's Vineyard is proving to be a hot commodity, with keys selling for exorbitant amounts—often in the hundreds of thousands. These keys offer private shorelines away from the crowded tourist spots, appealing to affluent buyers. The rising demand pushes prices higher, leaving locals and seasonal renters feeling alienated and resentful over their dwindling access to the island’s natural beauty.
