Visiting Martha’s Vineyard in the off-season is a treat because you’ll experience cooler temps, no crowds, empty beaches, quiet neighborhood walks and intimate dining experiences.
There are few places as beautiful as Ocean Park in the fall. The gorgeous fall foliage, picturesque gazebo, and elaborate, Victorian-style houses look like they were plucked right off of a movie set.
Inkwell Beach is the most conveniently located beach in Oak Bluffs. You’ll find it right off of Seaview Avenue, near Ocean Park. It’s also just a short walk from the ferry dock.
The cottages, which were built in the 19th century, look like storybook gingerbread houses because of their small size, picket fences, and delicate trim. Individual cottages are privately owned so you usually can’t explore their interiors, but they’re still a wonderful sight to see from the street.
A lakeview sunset over the harbor? Yes, please! I bet you can already guess where the lake gets its name – the beautiful sunsets. Grab a picnic basket and your favorite bottle of wine, and spend some time snacking and relaxing by the lake.
The one way street of Circuit Avenue is bustling with people throughout the year, but it’s especially busy in the summer and fall. People come from all over to visit the restaurants, ice cream and coffee shops, bars, boutiques, and clothing stores.
Offseason dining is truly special because you can experience less wait times, peaceful dinners and a slower, more authentic expereince.
