Nantucket
Nantucket Island is 30 miles off the shores of Cape Cod. It has long been a mecca for those fascinated by by-gone whaling days, a vivid repository for history of the era. The Whaling Museum, re-opened in the Spring of 2005, is a must-see, as are the cobbled streets and 17th-century street lamps in town. There are beaches on the island both on Nantucket Sound and the Atlantic offering swimming and superb opportunities to fish for striper and bluefish. Shops, restaurants and lodging are excellent and add to the ambience of the island. There are ferries and an airport (featured in the television show "Wings"). A daffodil festival occurs in spring and the "Christmas Stroll" is held in December. Nantucket welcomes visitors any time of year.
