This Oak Bluffs beach and surrounding area of colorful gingerbread Victorian houses have strong links to African-American heritage on Martha's Vineyard, dating back to the Revolutionary War. The beach was the setting for a teenage romance movie called "The Inkwell."

I had no clue just how beautiful the beaches where at Marthas Vineyard until I arrived. As soon as we left the ferry, we noticed the aqua crystal clear beaches! I cannot get over how "tropical" colored the water was- felt like we where in Flordia! The beach was spotless clean. Not a single piece of trash- even for peak tourist times. Beautiful beach with crystal clear waters... Loved the beautiful tumbled rocks by the jettys- found a few keepers!

Small waves, low dunes and lots of seashells make this narrow, two-mile stretch of public beach popular with families. The beach runs between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown, and is called "Bend-in-the-Road Beach" on the Edgartown side.

Great beach, east to get to via bike or car. The water is clear and warm. The waves were quiet. Looking forward to going back.

Off-beat and quirky shopping enclave in Oak Bluffs.
Reviewed By py236 - Albany, United States
Circuit Avenue is in the heart of Oak Bluffs once upon a time where African Americans went on vacation because they weren't allowed to be anywhere else. Restaurants, tourist shops and ice cream stores line the street. Every night, people walk up and down the block, gather to talk or sit outside. It's just down the block from the pier, which has a wide range of food and activity offerings. Truly the heart of the town and walking distanxe to the beach and town square.

We walked down Circuit Ave and took a path leading into the beautiful grassy area of the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association. It was a quiet restful place by the Tabernacle revival meeting house where concerts are still held, surrounded by beautifully ornate gingerbread cottages from 1867. Each cottage is unique and creatively adorned with color. We also toured the Trinity Methodist Church. A delightful area in Oak Bluffs for a stroll.

If you're inclined to attend a religious service Sunday mornings, preachers come from all over the country and from many different religious groups. On Wednesday evenings at 730 pm you can join an olfashioned sing a long. The third Wednesday in August the Tabernacle is filled (over 1500 people) to start the Illumination of the Campground. A ery unique part of American history

My family during a recent vacation came to The Barn (from the recommendation of others) but didn't have a reservation. It was trivia night and we couldn't be seated in the main dining room because our party was 6. We were about to leave and Joelle told us to wait and eventually seated us in the vip/event room. I assume she did this right before the end of her shift as she was already gone when we finished so we couldn't thank her personally so we came back the next night! Thank you Joelle for finding an alternative place for us to eat. Meg, you were a great server as well.
10. Beach Road between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown

Reviewed By Armachians - Armagh, United Kingdom
A fabulous route especially as most of it has a separate cycle path so even novice cyclists can feel save. Mainly flat with a few inclines but with the sun shining and a gentle breeze on your face its a totally enjoyable cycle for Oak Bluffs to Edgartown. Stop half way at State Beach to watch the kids jump off the bridge into the water.
