Nantucket

You can only get here by boat or by plane. There isn't a single traffic light. (Cars were not permitted on the Island until 1918.) Most everything is within walking distance (1 mile) of the historic center.

With excellent bicycle paths and limitless public beaches, biking is the very best way to go.

36% of the land has been protected and will never be built upon. This land is open to the public for bird watching, nature walks and hiking. Nantucket is on the north-south flyway of migrating birds and is very popular with serious bird watchers.

Nantucket Harbor and surrounding waters are famous for Nantucket bay scallops. Bluefish and striped bass abound from May to October, an ideal spot for sport fishing.

In addition to historic houses and museums, plus the natural beauty of the Island, Nantucket also prides itself on its world-class dining and shopping. This is no exaggeration!

Be sure to stop by THE GOLDEN BASKET on your next visit and take home an authentic Island treasure.
