Things To Do
Shopping in Historic Downtown Nantucket
There are loads of great shops in the Town of Nantucket. Wandering around you cannot go wrong finding fund shops for Clothes, Jewelry, Home Goods, and Local Goods. Start on Main Street and you can wander all through town and around the harbor.
'Sconset Bluff Walk
Sconset is the furthest East point of the island and has some of the oldest homes on the island. The Bluff walk takes you down a gorgeous path overlooking the ocean. One of the most picturesque walks on the island.
Beaches of Nantucket
Jetties Beach Step's Beach Surfside Nobadeer Cisco Madaket (best beach sunset on the island)
Endeavor Sailing Excursions
Captain Jim can take groups out on the harbor and tell you all about the history of Nantucket. Always a beautiful and fun ride.
Squam Swamp
One of our favorite hiking spots on the island
The Juice Bar
World famous ice cream! Don't miss it
Something Natural
Delicious sandwiches in a low-key, outdoor environment
Polpis Bike Path
You can rent bikes at a number of places in town and bike pretty much the entire island. Biking is definitely the most fun and scenic way to get around. There are any number of bike paths, but Polpis is our favorite and takes you all the way to Sconset
