Marina Setting (text courtesy Atlantic Cruising Guides)
On the east side of calm, sheltered, but hyper-busy, boat-filled Oak Bluffs Harbor, the marina's finger pier lies jutts out from the concrete Boardwalk, known as The Strip. Dockside Market Place's 15 shops and restaurants share the upland with more eateries, ferry docks, verandas, beachy bars, live music and in a festive atmosphere. Large Victorian-era houses overlook the south shore.
For two months, Oak Bluffs is the brash, fun, effervescent adolescent of the three harbor towns. In September it quietly returns to its roots. Seek refuge in the 34-acre Wesleyan Grove (aka M.V. Camp Meeting Assoc.), where Methodist Summer Camp meetings have taken place since 1835. Accessed through the Circuit Avenue Arcade, over 300 brightly painted, small Carpenter Gothic Victorian ginger-bread cottages ring the open-air 1879 Trinity Park Tabernacle - the site of summer evening concerts. The Flying Horses Carousel has been operating since 1876. Bicycle rentals abound; about 15 bus routes intersect with bike paths making the whole island accessible. Oak Bluffs is also served by five ferry companies: Hy-Line to Hyannis/Nantucket, Island Queen to Falmouth, New England to New Bedford, Steamship Authority to Woods Hole, Vineyard Fast Ferry to Quonset Point, RI - very convenient for crew changes.
