Things to Do
The Hub of Nantucket
Coffee, Tea, small town gossip? The Hub has it. Located right smack in the middle of town, this is a great meeting spot.
Rent a Bike - Young's Bicycle Shop
The island is covered with bike paths. Head out for a quick ride around town, or for a longer ride head to Madaket or Sconset.
Sankaty Head Light
A beautiful lighthouse set just outside of Sconset on the far end of the island. The area is filled with tiny rose covered cottages, historic whalers homes from the Moby Dick era. Make a stop at the Sconset Market for coffee or ice cream. There is also a beautiful public Bluff walk through the ocean facing backyards - great option if you want to make a half day of your 7.5 mile venture from town.
Millie's Market
Looking for Lauren and I? We will most likely be here. Millie's is a small market right off the beaches in Madaket, the Western end of the island. There is a restaurant next door by the same name that serves, in our biased opinion, the best food on Nantucket.
The Gazebo at Harbor Square
Great spot to meet for an afternoon libation and look out over the harbor. Note that it is 25+ only.
Endeavor Sailing Excursions
Take a sail around the harbor on The Endeavor. This historic boat offers 90 minute tours.
Whaling Museum
This museum is not to be missed. Learn all about the history of Nantucket and the former reign of the whaling industry.
Sayle's Seafood
Great spot for a quick take-out bite - we are big fans of the fried clams and the lobster bake dinner.
Lemon Press
Great in town breakfast stop. For all our vegans and veggies the falafel breakfast sandwich is not to be missed!
Brant Point
A great little beach walkable from town and home of the Brant Point lighthouse. A great walking spot for beachcombers.
Pizzeria Gemelle
A tiny favorite for take-out pizza in town.
Live Music & Drinks at Cisco Brewers
One of our favorite spots! Cisco Brewers is a brewery, winery, and distillery with live music daily and food trucks. They run a shuttle right from town.
Jetties Beach & the Sandbar Bar & Restaurant
A walk or bike from town, Jettie's beach great place to find yourself for an afternoon. The Sandbar is a family friendly favorite for a laid happy hour and bite. We love tobey's punch and their oysters.
Bartlett's Farm
Best breakfast sandwich on the island!
Something Natural
An all time favorite. We recommend grabbing your sandwich on portuguese bread, and ordering a Matt Fee Tea for localfare.
or, The Whale
Restaurant in the center of town - great spot for dinner or lunch. The hidden garden patio in the back is one of the best kept secrets. Great bloody marys!
Slip 14
Nice happy hour haunt on Old South Wharf - head all the way to the end. Perfect combination of boaters and townies with a great freshly caught menu to boot. Love their twisted mojito.
Wicked Island Bakery
Their morning bun is worth the trip!
