Matt & Katie
Things To Do
Nantucket Historical Association
Get to know the island and its rich history at the Whaling Museum. This is where we met and where Katie spent the majority of her life on the island. Yes, you'll see some of it at the wedding, but it's totally worth going again. Check out the programs, learn about scrimshaw, and learn about what put Nantucket on the map.
Brant Point
The most photographed place on the island! Take a short walk out of downtown and get your basic Nantucket photo taken.
Cisco Brewers
One of our favorite spots and one of the best craft breweries in America! They also have mixed drinks and wine. You'll love this place. It is located mid-island, so you'll need to Uber/Lyft/taxi or have your own transportation.
Sankaty Head Lighthouse
A great spot if you can get to it!
Nantucket Downtown Historic District
Downtown Nantucket is a great starting point for so many things. Go explore the wharf(s), eat at some great old restaurants, check out the countless pre-Civil War historic buildings and find a bar to go to!
Siasconset
The only part of the island with a zip code that's not 02554, 'Sconset is a quaint artist cottage town from the 1900s. It's a great place to wander, and if you're especially nosey, find the bluff walk that will take you on a pathway basically through people's backyards. Great views all the way! And Bill Belichick has a home out here!
Madaket
Matt's favorite side of the island. He used to bike there all the time. In the summer, it has one of our favorite restaurants with the best margarita. In November, it won't be open, but it's still worth heading out to Madaket Beach and enjoying the view. If you're a Mr. Roger's fan, you'll enjoy that he had a house on this part of the island and spent a lot of time there.
Serengeti Nantucket
This place is awesome, and it's nicknamed the Nantucket Serengeti for a reason! A great place to explore and take photos, and also the place to go if you want to check out some cranberry bogs. Plus, it's on the way to 'Sconset if you're already checking that out.
Nantucket Unitarian Church
One of the oldest and most historic buildings on Nantucket, this is where Matt's parents got married on March 8, 1986!
