Off the New England coast lies what was once the world's premier whaling port, the spectacular Island of Nantucket. It is no wonder that for generations, this pinnacle of Yankee style has been the favorite spot for those who know the charms of classic simplicity. Nantucket Island comes to life as the warmer months approach, yet off-season activities such as the Cranberry Festival, Christmas Stroll and Spring time's Daffodil Weekend attract visitors year round. Nantucket's friendly residents, miles of pristine beaches and unique shops add to the appeal of this one of a kind historic Island.
