Gaslit cobblestone streets,
rose covered cottages, . . .
you might think you know Nantucket,
but we're going to show you All About It.
The island of Nantucket is located 30 miles off the coast
of Cape Cod, and is reachable by ferry or airplane.
It consists of one historically preserved main town
and is surrounded by smaller, charming, seaside communities.
From the lush vegetation, gently rolling heathlands,
cranberry bogs, and salt marshes inland,
to the picturesque moors and beaches on
the coast, Nantucket is abound with natural beauty!
When you first step off the ferry in Nantucket, you arrive in the thick of the action,
and one of the first things you might wonder is, "where am I going" and "how am I going to get there?"
Here is how you get from place to place.
The cobblestoned streets that you meet when you get
off the ferry are filled with world-class restaurants,
many shops and galleries, as well as a number of museums,
like the Whaling Museum that celebrates the islands’ rich whaling history.
There are also a number of lovely beaches accessible by foot from the downtown area.
And while the island of Nantucket is relatively small, you can’t see it ALL on foot.
There are car rentals, taxis, and Ubers, but we recommend you opt for renting a bike
and explore the island via the bike path that circles the island.
Another wonderful form of transport around the island—the island’s year-round bus, known as The Wave.
Seriously, downtown is awesome. But if you're looking to venture out a little further, this is what you might find . . .
If you’re seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of town,
venture out to the rest of the island’s 55 miles of broad, pristine beaches
perfect for swimming, surfing, fishing, and biking.
Tom Nevers, Surfside, Cisco, Dionis, and Madaket are all popular vacation spots
Madaket Beach, often voted one of the region’s best, is famous for its spectacular sunsets.
The charming community of Naushop with its brick sidewalks, picket fences, and classic Nantucket architecture,
offers shopping, restaurants, a community pool and tennis courts.
And seven miles east of town sits the laidback, picturesque, little village of Siasconset,
or ‘Sconset as it is commonly known.
Formerly a haven for fishermen, ‘Sconset still has some narrow lanes lanes lined with
tiny rose-covered cottages sitting side by side. But there are larger summer rentals there as well, many overlooking the ocean.
