Nantucket is best experienced on foot or bike. It’s just 14 by 3.5 miles in area and most places to visit are within walking distance of the town.
If you want to visit a conservation area or one of the outlying beaches, then you can take a tour, or rent a bike for the day or the length of your stay – the island has a number of bike paths.
Here’s a map of Nantucket so you can follow along as I describe things to see and do during your visit…
Unlike its sister island of Martha’s Vineyard to the west, Nantucket isn’t a day trip from Cape Cod. The Island isn’t a destination you get to quickly, rush around the sights in a few hours, and return to the mainland in time for supper.
Plan to stay at least a couple of nights - more if you can - and take time exploring – you’ll be amply rewarded.
What makes Nantucket so special? Well, we have to quickly go back a few hundred years.
