    It was a real treat for people who enjoy history to learn about the campground and see all the variety and love the owners have put into their cottages. It was great to stroll around & we recommend the campground association museum where we spoke to some cottage owners and got a sense for what the place was like a century ago.

    Fun beyond words. It appears the carousel was the only thing but there is an arcade attached too! Did I mention there is a photo booth too!?

    This place looks like it came out of a fairy tale book. Absolutely beautiful- I waited till it started raining to take the picture and it didn’t do it justice. Just a short walk to the boat slips one way- the town another.

    The beach was absolutely wonderful. The wind and temperature was perfect, the water blue, and the fun was a plenty! My son and his friend had a ball: boogie boards, fi s, goggles, sand castles...they just had a marvelous time. The water was nice, too. We got there in the late afternoon and it was ple ty of parking and space so that we weren't on top of the next family! Looking forward to returning

    What a beautiful beach! We had an amazing time. We chose a section of the beach to have a group gathering of alumni and families. Children and adults alike enjoyed it. Other people who happened to be at the beach were so warm and friendly. It felt like a big family reunion - nothing but good vibes! Can't wait to return.

    We always enjoy a stop at the local library to relax in the AC, check out the selection of rental movies, and enjoy the free wi-fi. We have a library card that we renew each summer, and enjoy a stop to the library. Great stop on a rainy day.

    An amazing site with an amazing history. Definitely worth a stroll around if you're in the area. It's a sight to behold!

    Beach road from Oak Bluffs to Edgartown has water on both sides for most of its distance (over 4 of the 6 miles). The ocean side is Cow Bay, and the other side is Sengekontacket Pond, most of which is surrounded by nature reserves. The pond has an area of 726 acres, an average depth of 3.0 feet, and a tidal range of 0.6 ft. The ocean side is mostly public beach (reached by walkways through the protected grassed area).
    This would be a great spot for swimming and enjoying the beach in the summer; not so .much on Oct. 29th! However, it was a great drive/

    Oak Bluffs is one of the island's principal points of arrival for summer tourists and is noted for its "gingerbread cottages" and other well-preserved mid- to late-nineteenth-century buildings. It is also the location of the East Chop Lighthouse on Telegraph Hill. It was built in 1878 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. As such, it is certainly worth a visit!
    East Chop Light and two other Martha's Vineyard lighthouses (Gay Head Light and Edgartown Harbor Light) were designated for destruction in the early 1980s. These three island lights were saved and are operated by VERI (Vineyard Environmental Research Institute).

    Oak Bluffs is noted for its "gingerbread cottages" and other well-preserved mid- to late-nineteenth-century buildings. It was the first place that we visited after arriving on Martha's Vineyard and we quite enjoyed looking at all of the cottages, houses, etc.
    It would be sad indeed to go to Martha's Vineyard and miss seeing these beautiful and historic places.

    This gingerbread cottage museum gives you the experience of what it was like to live in a gingerbread house. The photos and artifacts tell the story of the how the houses and tabernacle came to be. We so enjoyed our conversation with docent Tomm and were sorry we weren't able to get back again during our week there.
