    History 

    We were not surprised when our town was recently rated by Conde Nast as Top 10 Coolest Beach Towns on the eastern seaboard. We have known that secret for years.  The  town of Oak Bluffs located on the northern side of Martha's Vineyard island has something for every one.  


    It is a a diverse, welcoming and lively community with long tradition of embracing visionary visitors for generations.  


    The town was originally called "Cottage City and is well known for the Victorian gingerbread beach cottages. The cottages are brightly colored and uniquely decorated.   It all started with the summer spirtual meetings of the Methodists in the mid-18th century. The methodists met in tents that eventually became small summer cottages with no heat and  no water. They had lanterns and they met in the wooded clearing to gather, sing and pray. Our community is proud of our interdenominational and interracial harmony that makes it a beacon for people of similar values. 


    Historical tours of the Methodist campground, the MV African American heritage trail, and Wampanoag Native American cultural center all provide a rich flavor of the place.  The newly opened MV Museum guide you on a rich history and island stories of more than 300 years. 


    Natural Adventures Await

    The island has more than 100 miles+ of bike paths, hiking trails and rolling hills that pass by colonial era farms, stately Whaling Captain houses, stunning clay cliffs, quiet harbors, and working fishing villages.  The island has a perfect balance that allows you to be lost in nature or vibrant gatherings in a uniquely  diverse community.   


    There truly is something for everyone and depending on your day you can craft your perfect vacation.
