Thirty miles off the coast of Massachusetts, Nantucket offers a warm and gentle climate from a very early spring through the late and lingering summer and autumn. With nearly 50 miles of beach and open spaces on all points of the compass, Nantucket is unsurpassed for its natural beauty.
And as the once whaling capital of the world, Nantucket is an eclectic collection of the best of yesterday and the most acceptable of today... tree-lined cobblestoned streets, magnificently preserved architecture, a spectrum of museums, galleries, theaters, and special exhibits, as well as many fine restaurants and specialty shops... all within walking distance of one another, all blended into a delicate balance with the nature of the island itself. |
