My go-to beach on Nantucket when I want easy access, solid waves, and room to breathe. It’s family-friendly but never too chaotic, has real bathrooms (a luxury), and a snack shack with everything from burgers to ice cream. Bonus: the bike ride there ...
Surfside Beach | Nantucket, MA - Official Website
A Nantucket classic—because did you even go if you didn’t get a photo here? Just a short walk from town, Brant Point is the perfect spot for a morning coffee stroll or golden hour moment. Peaceful, postcard-perfect, and a must for first-timers or any...

Go for the tacos, stay for the sunset. Millie’s is the sunset spot on Nantucket—right on the west end with unbeatable golden hour views and strong margaritas to match. Great for casual dinners after the beach or just grabbing drinks and watching the ...

Cisco Brewers
Elevated but not stuffy, and the crab dip alone is reason enough to book a reservation. It’s warm, rich, and somehow still light—served with buttery crostini and gone in five minutes. Great spot for a nicer dinner when you want seafood, cocktails, an...
Straight Wharf Restaurant
Somehow both quaint and cozy and always bustling—which is hard to pull off, but Cru does it. The back bar is my favorite spot to post up with a Crucumber (trust me, it’s dangerously good), and the views of the harbor make everything taste better. It’...
