Washington, July 1 (ANI): U.S. President Barack Obama and his family are planning to go for a vacation to Martha's Vineyard next month, Democratic sources said.

Rumours that the Obamas will be vacationing on the island have been making rounds for a long time, with federal agents reported to be checking out property last spring, reports the Politico.

The plan puts the family in one of America's most diverse resort areas.

For the nation's African-American elite, the enclave of Oak Bluffs has long been a favourite vacation spot.

Martha's Vineyard was a favourite vacation spot of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, now Obama's secretary of state. (ANI)
