- Restaurants
- Boutiques that are high-end
- Steepled churches
- Unpainted cedar-shingled buildings
It has a Whaling Museum that tells the story of when this was a 19th-century hub for whaling.

See the beaches
See the beaches first to get a more local and authentic experience in this area. Any of the beaches on Nantucket are a sight to be seen as you relax with the impressive surf. The dune filled beaches stretch on for miles.
Visit shops
If you love to shop, downtown Nantucket is the place to go as it has many pricey and not so pricey shops to browse through. While shopping does not forget to buy a Nantucket t-shirt as there are many to choose from, making a nice souvenir of your time here.
Escape the crowds
If you want to escape the tourist crowds, then the best time to visit Nantucket is between the months of April and May or September and October.
