Oak Bluffs:

Oak Bluffs on the island of Martha’s Vineyard was first settled in 1642 and originally began as the centre for tourism on the Vineyard. It also became a centre of the thriving 19th century Methodist movement and the colourfully ornate cottages in which members built, known as the Gingerbread Cottages. Each August campground members still hold “The Grand Illumination” an event in which residents decorate their colourful cottages with Chinese Lanterns. The evening starts with a community sing-along and band concert and is concluded with the ceremonial lighting of the lanterns.

Oak Bluffs is also the home to the Flying Horses Carousel the oldest platform carousel still in operation. All ages enjoy trying to catch the brass ring on the carousel, in hopes of winning a free ride.

The harbour in Oak Bluffs is a great place to kick back, watch the boats and grab a bite to eat. There is a bustling nightlife in the town of Oak Bluffs as well, with a variety of restaurants, clubs and bars

Day 12

Sadly your fabulous fly drive holiday has reached its conclusion and it’s time to return to Boston.

The journey back to Boston will take you approximately 2½ hours, including the ferry crossing from Marthas Vineyard to Woods Hole, so we suggest you set a leisurely pace perhaps heading for the seaside village of Sandwich for lunch and a stroll before you reluctantly drive to Boston airport returning your hire car to the Alamo depot before checking in for your return flight to the UK.
