Questions

Edgartown vs Vineyard Haven vs Oak Bluffs?
Edgartown = preppy, white-clapboard sea captains. Vineyard Haven = ferry-side market town, more walkable. Oak Bluffs = gingerbread cottages + summer-camp pop. Base in Edgartown; ferry-hop to the others for lunch.
South Beach access?
5-minute drive (or 25-minute bike) from Edgartown. State park, free entry. Long sandy stretch, 6-foot waves on south swells. Bring umbrellas — no shade.
Best month?
June for shoulder rates + warm-enough water. July-August peak. September is the bridal party's sweet spot — quieter, water still warm.
