    Stunning views from every direction Ocean park is a small park located only a short walk from the center of town. It's open area with no trees but has walking paths and a gazebo and benches. The key to this park is the location. Fantastic views of the ocean and great cooling breezes even in the warmest weather. A great place for a walk after pigging out in the restaurants in the town. Another great aspect of the park are the gorgeous Victorian homes (mansions?) that surrounded it. The houses are carefully restored and are absolutely stunning. So the actually park is nothing special, remove it and place it in another location and it certainly would be ordinary at best. It's the beautiful location and what surrounds the park that makes it so great.

    This park is great place for that afternoon chill out spot. Bring small basket sit, watch a great view and all the activity along the shore.

    As a kid I would run around with my friends, play around the gazebo, and pick out which houses were my favorite.

A nice place for a stroll or to view the cottages but the real reason the park exists is because of the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle is a massive open air structure. I'm not sure what the official term for this type of building is, but it's sort of a permanent tent but made of steel and iron. It is huge, over 100 feet high, holds over 3,000 people and is the largest structure of it's kind in the country. It was built back in 1879 to hold the revival meetings of the people that would meet at Oak Bluffs and is presently on the National Register of Historical Buildings. It's now used for Sunday services, community song alongs on Wednesday nights and various concerts throughout the summer. Mostly local performers but some famous artist like James Taylor, Tom Paxton and Bonnie Raitt have been here. Even though it's not used for it's original purpose it still is awe inspiring to walk through. Even though it protects you from the elements, it still gives the feeling of being outside. The acoustics are surprising good and it is a extremely pleasant place to see a concert. With the giant stage or altar and the beautiful stain glass windows, huge beams and massive size it's enough to give some religion, if only for a moment, to the most hardened heathen.

    The tabernacle is great for music in the summer. Went during…read morethe Jazz fest. You're supposed to pay for seating, but it's an open air theater. They should really make events here free. The architecture is beautiful and it's right in the heart of the ginger bread cottage campground. Way too much cuteness!

Although it's been a few years since my last visit, The Inkwell remains close to my heart, a place that calls to me with deep sentiment and powerful history. What drew me to The Inkwell wasn't just its beauty. It was the feeling of stepping into a space where African Americans have gathered for generations--a sanctuary where families and friends could unwind freely and simply belong. The Inkwell got its name because it was the only beach area where African Americans were allowed during segregation. Today, that name carries deep emotional and historical meaning for our community. The Inkwell isn't a massive beach, but it's just large enough to be whatever you need it to be--whether it's lounging in a beach chair with a good book or hosting a beach party with friends. It's a place where families who bought homes generations ago return year after year. Many still spend their summers here, and some live here year-round. It's always been a space to feel at ease, to be yourself, and to be surrounded by a true sense of community. This place taught me what it really means to relax and have fun. Just shorts and a T-shirt, no need to dress up. I came to appreciate how freeing it is to feel accepted without judgment based on appearance. Long walks on the beach and early morning yoga were the highlights of my day. Oh Yeah, if you enjoy exploring nature trails like me, bike riding is another low cost activity that you'd appreciate. Whenever we visited Martha's Vineyard, we'd always stay in Oak Bluffs for a full week, close enough to the water that it felt like the beach was part of our backyard. From there, we explored the island: the fishing village of Menemsha, the harbor town of Vineyard Haven, downtown area Circuit Ave., and of course, the nightlife. I loved it all, the ocean, the sand, the sun warming your skin, the rocks beneath your feet, the boat rides, the fresh seafood (oh my goodness, the lobster!). And the people-watching? Top-tier--especially if you're not local. You'll see such a mix of families, longtime locals and visitors from all over the place. A perfect blend of laid back and POSITIVE VIBES. The world may have changed, but places like The Inkwell still matter, for so many reasons. Pro Tips for Visiting:    *   Getting There: Drive into Woods Hole and take the ferry--it's part of the charm. If you're flying in, rent a car if you can. You'll thank me later. It makes seeing the island much easier and less exhausting.    *   Plan Early: Book your trip months in advance if possible. A week goes by fast! Whether you plan to Netflix and chill the entire time or do a little sightseeing, having flexibility makes all the difference.    *   Recs for Downtown: I'd recommend Nancy's Restaurant, The Oyster Bar, Martha's Vineyard Chowder Company, and Linda Jean's Restaurant. If you like Asian cuisine, Bangkok Cuisine is a fav. Don't miss the clothing and souvenir shops - you'll love browsing around.    *   Arts & Culture: Visit the Cousen Rose Gallery and the Martha's Vineyard Museum for a taste of island culture and history.    *   Must-See Sunset: Head to Menemsha for one of the most breathtaking sunsets you'll ever see. While you're there, stop by Menemsha Fish Market for some of the freshest lobster and seafood around. So to all my fellow beach lovers: go and enjoy yourself, no matter your background. The Inkwell is a place to make memories that last a lifetime. It's warm, welcoming, and filled with soul. I promise--if you love the water, sand, and sunshine, The Inkwell will love you right back in the most unforgettable way. Muah!

The location cannot be beat with Inkwell Beach directly across the street with the house offering beach towels, morning yoga, breakfast, and a fun happy hour. Truly a well run and gem of Oak Bluffs. My family will be continuing to stay here for years to come.
