Explore Sconset
We're obviously biased, but we think Sconset is the best part of the island!
Walk around the village, or on the historic bluff walk (details below).

Go to the beach
The beaches on Nantucket are incredible, and worth visiting if the weather is good. You also might spot a seal!
Steps Beach is a great option for kids (or anyone looking for calmer waters). It’s also a great place for a photo op!
Ladies and Cisco beaches are our favorites on the South side of the island. Please note the water can be rougher and not the best for little kids.

Walk around town
If you feel like shopping, don't miss Erica Wilson (25 Main St.) or Atlantic (16 Federal St.). And definitely walk down each wharf!
