Why choose Nautilus Trading
Why Oak Bluffs, Martha’s Vineyard?
Oak Bluffs is the liveliest town on Martha’s Vineyard – famous for its colorful Gingerbread Houses, the historic Flying Horses Carousel (the oldest operating carousel in the USA), a bustling harbor full of sailboats, and Inkwell Beach right in town. The island is packed with international students every summer, so you’ll instantly find a community of new friends from all over the world.
On your days off, cycle the island’s beach paths, catch the ferry to Cape Cod, take a day trip to Boston (just a few hours away), enjoy summer concerts, seafood shacks, and legendary Vineyard sunsets at Menemsha. Fall on the Vineyard is quieter, golden and absolutely beautiful – a side of America most tourists never see.
