Whether you’re visiting Nantucket for the first time or returning to your favorite island getaway, there’s always something special waiting to be discovered. From beautiful beaches and charming villages to exceptional dining and unforgettable sunsets, here’s our guide to enjoying the island this week.
Summer is in full swing, bringing warm temperatures, plenty of sunshine, and the possibility of a passing shower later in the week. As always on Nantucket, it’s a good idea to bring a light sweater or rain jacket for cooler evenings by the water.
⛴️ Travel Tips
This is one of the busiest times of the summer season, so a little planning goes a long way.
Before heading to the ferry terminal or airport:
- Confirm your reservation before departing.
- Allow extra travel time for seasonal traffic.
- Arrive early for ferry and flight departures.
- Reserve rentals and activities in advance whenever possible.
A little preparation means more time enjoying your vacation.

💡 Concierge Tip of the Week
Many visitors try to experience the entire island in a single day.
Instead, choose one area to explore each day—Downtown, Madaket, ‘Sconset, or the north shore beaches—and enjoy it at a relaxed pace. You’ll discover hidden gems, local favorites, and unforgettable moments that can’t be found on a schedule.
