The coastlines around Nantucket are spectacular, more so than the interior.

Siasconset is highly recommended as a quaint historical Nantucket town. The houses/cottages are beautiful and unique. There is a little café here that is quite popular. There is a small convenience store that supplies pre-made lunches. There are benches nearby to have lunch. Many people enjoy wandering the streets seeing what artisan shop or quaint cottage lies around the corner. The beach here is quite nice.

You would be amiss if you spent the whole day touring around the island and did not spend some quality time in the village of Nantucket. Historical homes, tree lined cobblestone streets, designer shopping, museums, and delicious restaurants await you. A person could spend several hours walking around the shops and the homes. Don’t forget to check out the Whaling Museum!

If beach life is your thing there are at least 16 beaches around the island each having their own qualities. Some of these beaches are known for their heavy surf, and caution should be exercised for inexperienced swimmers or families with children. Nantucket has a beach website that is quite helpful.

If golf is your passion, there are a number of courses available on the island.

Nantucket is considered to be one of the hot spots on the Eastern seaboard for the rich and famous. It’s not uncommon to see locals come out for dinner in the village looking like they just stepped out of a Polo Ralph Lauren advertisement. Keep you’re eyes open, you never know what celebrity you might see.
