An island teeming with rich history, boutique shopping, fine dining and sandy beaches, Nantucket remains the perfect seaside escape. Vast stretches of open land permanently protected by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation and the cobblestone streets of the vibrant historical downtown create the illusion that you’ve stepped back in time. Just 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, Nantucket invokes a sense of nostalgia, even to those who have never visited before. Beyond the beach, acclaimed cultural, epicurean and sailing events like the Daffodil Festival, the Nantucket Food & Wine Festival, Figawi and Christmas Stroll are just part of what makes the island and community so appealing. The old-fashioned charm and natural beauty of Nantucket has earned this seaside town a spot on nearly everyone’s travel bucket list, but for those who are lucky to live on this exclusive island, it feels like a never-ending vacation. With daily high speed ferry service, Nantucket is also accessible by air from major airports including Logan International Airport and New York–LaGuardia and JFK airports.
