Nantucket Island is located 30 miles off the coast of Massachucetts. The Island is 14.5 miles by 3.5 miles, first settled in 1659 by English families. Nantucket was once the busiest and most prosperous whaling port in the world. Now the harbor has one of the finest docking facilities on the east coast.

Travelers are drawn to the white sandy beaches, pounding surf of the Atlantic Ocean, fishing, sailboating, windsurfing, museums, restaurants, hotels, or cottage rentals to name just a few of the attractions. Many might think Nantucket is a summer getaway but to visit during the off season months can be a very special treat as well.
