Area
About Oak Bluffs
Sengekontacket is located outside of the town of Oak Bluffs on the edge of the pond of the same name.
The town was once a suburb of Edgartown, but came into its own in the mid-19th century thanks to the establishment of the Methodist Campgrounds. Today, however, Oak Bluffs has become to the place to go for nightlife on the island.
Waterside hot spots such as Nancy’s and The Sand Bar welcome fishermen and yachters from the harbor. Dreamland and The Ritz have live music. And as the primary “wet town,” Oak Bluffs has plenty of bars to accommodate the life of the party.
A Rich History
Located in the center of town is the foundation of Oak Bluffs, the Methodist Campground, where people flocked to settle in tents during the religious revival of the 1800s. As the congregation grew, the tents transitioned to gingerbread cottages, each more colorful and charming than the last.
Today, you can stroll through the delightful cottages, clustered around a large, open-air Tabernacle, where there are events and live music throughout the summer.
Take a walking tour to get an inside scoop on the historic homes such as the Cottager’s House Tour in early July. Or embark on a ghost tour later at night to hear the spooky secrets and age-old legends of the campground.
Come at the end of the summer in mid-August and observe the Illumination Night spectacle. Here the cottages light the night with exquisite Japanese lanterns that have been in families for generations.
