Oak Bluffs
Oak Bluffs, in season being the hub of transportation, with boats arriving and departing Falmouth, Nantucket, Woods Hole, New Bedford and Hyannis. It is known for its lively night life, great restaurants, shops and the Arts District. Also steeped in Victorian history, there are the famous Gingerbread Houses that developed from the summer revival camp set up by the Methodists in 1850.  There are close to five hundred ornamented, colorful cottages in the Camp Meeting Association grounds with the centerpiece being the Tabernacle that is the backdrop for weekly concerts and provides family entertainment through- out the summer. Ocean Park is the crown jewel of Oak Bluffs with its newly restored gazebo that will host several events including the spectular annual fireworks, an end of summer ritual.
