Nantucket is one of the world's most captivating destinations. It is an example of everything wonderful about New England, full of historic and cultural attractions.

In Nantucket Town guests can walk cobblestone streets that lead back in time. There are more than 800 historic buildings, each at least 100 years old – some even date back to the late 1600s. Over a dozen museums, including The Whaling Museum, preserve  Nantucket's culture and history.

An array of upscale boutiques, antique shops, art galleries, pubs and fine restauranNantucket Vacationsts line the charming streets of Nantucket. During the summer season, visitors find a wide range of auctions, gallery openings, local theatre, craft fairs and concerts to enjoy.

Of course Nantucket is also known for its miles of beautiful beaches and winding bike paths. The gentle surf on the harbor side and the challenging waves on the ocean side provide endless opportunities for water sports, including swimming, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, whale watching, surfcasting and charter fishing.  Both the bay and ocean shores are ideal for sunbathing, reading and quiet relaxation.

Follow whichever path you choose on the island:  sightseeing, relaxing, or exploring.

They all lead to the best of Nantucket.
