Nantucket, or the “far-away land” in Native American, is a magnificent island situated 41°N and 70°W on the Atlantic Ocean. Approximately 30 miles at sea, 15 miles long, 4.5 miles wide and surrounded with 82 miles of beaches, this hidden gem represents a true paradise! A place of peace, the island is a year-round home to a population of around 20,000, which increases to 70,000 in the summer months. Soft, sandy beaches, blue skies, fine dining restaurants, shopping, art, cultural experiences, countless options for entertainment, outdoor activities, as well as wide spectrum of events is what makes Nantucket the lively place it is. With its unique community, Nantucket is an adventure worth experiencing. Town, which is the epicenter of the island, was culturally influenced by the first English settlement in 1659, the Quaker settlement during the 18th century, as well as by the affluence generated from the whaling industry. Merchants and master mariners built their homes with an eye to impress their neighbors. The well-preserved Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival houses of that era, and the older Quaker buildings make Nantucket Town an architectural treasure trove. Building upon old traditions, Nantucket’s community has evolved from generation to generation and at the same time has managed to preserve its unique charm. If you are here for a day, or a lifetime, Nantucket never fails to feel like home by creating timeless memories that you will take everywhere you go!
