Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nice place for gifts, food, ice cream. Jewelery is also available. You can get donuts as well. This is fun for family. Also an arcade for kids

Very cute and easy going feel. A must see but it is a commercial street all about shopping and food.

Great town to walk about, snack, and shop at night or on a non-beach day. Not quaint like Edgartown but more casual and fun. Restaurant prices are more reasonable in Oak Bluffs btw. They changed the diagonal parking so there are less spaces to park on the avenue and hopefully parallel parking is okay for you! Great place for people watching at night - grab a cone or sweet from Back Door Donuts and just grab a seat or walk down to the harbor

If you're looking for trip souvenirs or beach provisions, all can be found on this shopping avenue. Not a quaint as Edgartown for shopping if that's you're primary activity.

This is a great place to find a restaurant and shopping for tee shirts. Suggest walking because there is limited parking.

Love Circuit Avenue Oaks Bluff. I always go over before it gets to crowded before June. Prices have gone up considerably all over the Island. I love it because of the Camp Ground, and Ginger Bread Houses, and the view of the water, the Gazebo, the Merry Go Round, and the arcade. One grocery store, and lots of food choices as well. Love this part of the Island because it's the least developed, which might not be to everyone's liking. I absolutely love it and go every year if I can. I conveniently stay at the Inn, and take the bus all over the Island.

Lovely quaint stroll in the heart of Oak Bluffs. Shop for unique gifts, trinkets to bring home. Also just behind the gingerbread houses at the campground, which you do not want to miss. The most unique houses you have ever seen!

Everything you needed was on Circuit Avenue. However, the food market was quite expensive. I needed distilled water, it cost $4.00! Not very crowded in September made for good shopping.

Plenty to see and do (eat). Lots of shops and a walkway to the Campground with its gingerbread cottages.

Circuit Avenue in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard is the tourist area. There are tacky souvenir stores, chic boutiques, bars and restaurants. Its a fun area of the city.

We will be visiting in late October and just a limited couple of hours. Should we really expect everything to be closed? Even restaurants and stuff? Also have limited mobility, can anyone tell me if there is a spot to cut across from Circuit Ave to Kennebec? We may not be able to make it all the way down to the intersection (starting north from the ferry and working down and back.) Thanks!

I have no idea - I have only visited until Columbus Day weekend -never past that. Maybe check with the Chamber of Commerce?

I was just there last week shopping and found a store and I can't remember the name of it, does anyone know? they currently have 2 lamps in their windows that are made of stacked rocks. As you're going up Circuit Avenue, it's on the left hand side. They also carried wood tables, panels, signs and a big wooden calendar that were hand painted. If anyone knows the name of this shop, I would be very appreciative!

Possibly Santuary. If you google shops on Circuit Ave it will show you all of them. Maybe that will help. Best of luck 👍
How much time or how many days would be plenty to visit Martha's Vineyard?

We will be staying on Cape Cod next month (May) and plan to visit Martha's Vineyard for the day. What is the best way to get around the island, bicycles & scooters are not an option. What should we see & where should we eat?

If you don't bring your car over on the ferry the safe way to to get around is to take the public bus. Public transportation is very safe. Taxi are very expensive. Nancy,s is good to eat

what is zip code
HvPssptWilTrvl
Newton, MA558 contributions
Zip code is a series of numbers assigned by the USPS to 'postal' neighborhoods'. Morons in on Circuit Avenue tattoo 02557 on their forehead. In the event they are lost they need only stand by a mailbox to get a ride home. What code do you use in Sonoma?
