A great
place

start

4. Oak Bluffs Town of
Vineyard Haven, MA 02568
(508) 693-0072

An extremely unusual place.

5. Claude Edge Front St Park
A park
with
pelicans

A small

Cuttyhunk.
It's a Wampanoag word that means the end of land.
Splendid isolation is what a woman I know who lives there calls it.
