Oak Bluffs Cottages
In 1835, a Methodist association began holding revival meetings in Oak Bluffs, and the congregation camped in tents. As meetings grew, participants pitched tents on wooden platforms, which evolved into some 300 small cottages. These were adorned with bold colours and whimsical ornamental woodwork in a style known as Carpenter Gothic and make quite a sight today .
For a glimpse of the community's history visit the Cottage Museum at 1 Trinity Park.

Clay Cliffs of Aquinnah
The multicoloured Clay Cliffs of Aquinnah were formed by glaciers more than 100 million years ago. Rising 46m (150ft) from the ocean, they're a dramatic sight any time of day. The cliffs are a National Historic Landmark owned by the Wampanoag Indians, so it's illegal to bathe in the mud pools at the bottom of the cliffs, or to remove clay from the premises.

One of the oldest buildings in town, this dark, cozy place dishes up large portions of good pub grub. The fish and chips are made with fresh catch - wash them down with a good ale.

Giordano's
Giordano's has been in business since 1930, so it must be doing something right. This family-friendly eatery is famous for its fried clams and also serves good hand-tossed pizzas.

Black Dog Tavern
More famous for its T-shirts than its food, this legendary eatery packs a crowd. Breakfast is the best deal with naughty indulgences like strawberry-and-white-chocolate pancakes.

Espresso Love
Espresso Love serves the richest cup o' Joe in town, sweet cinnamon rolls and luscious sandwiches - perhaps a curried chicken with walnuts and currants?
