Nantucket Vacations

Nantucket, Massachusetts is the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and tranquil time away from the daily hustles and bustles of the city. Architecturally changed little since the 17th century, Nantucket is a visually stunning place with seaside cottages and old-fashioned lamps lining the streets. Come experience the beauty and wonder of a natural habitat existing today in such a modern world.

Although Nantucket is a very relaxing atmosphere, there are many activities at the beaches to keep you busy. Go sea kayaking, charter a boat to go sailing or sports fishing, fishing, or windsurfing on the great waters. Lounge on the sandy beaches or swim in the waters of Children's Beach, Jetties Beach, or Surfside Beach. Children's Beach is the ideal spot to bring your children not only because of calm, shallow waters, but also because it has a playground for them to run around in when tired splashing in the waters. At Jetties Beach, fun is found playing volleyball, sunbathing, people watching, and eating while propped on the sand. The most popular beach by far is Surfside Beach, though, because of its perfect mix of surf and sand.

Step away from the beach and explore the rest of beautiful Nantucket. Take a bus or van tour throughout Nantucket, and see the Lifesaving Museum, the village of Siasconset, The Oldest House, and cranberry bogs. Admire nature's beauty and its inhabitants by bird watching. Shop through the quaint streets of Nantucket and visit antique shops filled with beautiful artifact. Stroll through "The Strip" and please your palate by enjoying all the food you can eat up and down the street. Or relax on a bench at The Hub, which is the heart of downtown Nantucket, and absorb all the energy passing through the area. Or read a good book or magazine with something cool to sip on.
