Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located just 16 miles off the Cape Cod coastline and easily accessible by ferry, Nantucket is an ideal island destination for a relaxing August vacation. Here you can do as much or as little as you wish on an endless string of beaches, or you could rent a bicycle and tour the pretty shoreline, stopping to visit the lighthouse at Sankaty Head. Families can take the children to see the interesting Whaling Museum, the Loines Observatory, and the Nantucket Aquarium. A self-guided Historic Sites Walking Tour will introduce you to some Nantucket history and will include visits to the Old Mill and the Old Gaol. Art lovers can enjoy over 20 galleries where local artists display their work.
