- Celebrate Independence Day
The 4th of July on Nantucket is straight out of a movie scene. It doesn’t skip an Americana beat with the tree-lined, cobblestone streets filled with American flags, friendly faces, and a 4th of July parade complete with firetrucks and vintage cars. Oh, and did we mention, a giant water fight in the middle of Main Street complete with Super Soakers and water hoses? If you don’t mind a crowd, there is no better place than Nantucket to ring in Independence Day.
- Grab a Beer at Cisco Brewery
Wonderfully removed from Downtown Nantucket and the island’s famous beaches, Cisco Brewery, along with it’s sandy patio, countryside views, malty beers, and homemade wines, make a perfect summer escape. Gather underneath the Edison lights for live music and great company any day of the week..
- Visit Madaket Beach
Madaket Beach is located on the west side of the island near Smith Point. The beach offers some of the most stunning sunset spots on the island and is easily accessible by bike. The local neighborhood is quiet and offers delicious markets like Mille’s (great for tacos and margaritas beachside) alongside sandy retail shops.
Madaket Beach Fact: The town was once home to the beloved Mr. Rodgers.
- Buy Farm Fresh From Moors End Farm
Moors End Farm is a family-owned farmstand located just outside of town. They offer delicious fresh fruits and vegetables from their nursery, stunning flowers and plants in their flourishing greenhouse, and some of the friendliest service on the island. Nantucket is a town of supporting local businesses, and this is one you won’t want to miss!
