7 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Nantucket That You Shouldn't Miss

May 21, 2022 Hana Mouser

Windswept beaches, sand dunes, blinking lighthouses and a charming pace of life await on this 50-square mile island. The world's former top whaling port is now designated a National Historic District. Leave the car and take the shuttle or bike around. Seaside cottages, old whaling captains' mansions and historic harbors contain quaint inns, boutique stores, chowder shacks and upscale dining delights. Swim, surf or load up the tackle for Nantucket's excellent striper, bluefish and bonito fishing.

Brant Point Lighthouse

Established in 1746, America's second oldest lighthouse has been in service more than 250 years.

Reviewed By AHW676 - Kansas City, United States

This is the most accessible lighthouse in Nantucket if you're staying anywhere close to town or the harbor. it's free to visit, but you won't go inside or climb it. You'll walk around it, take some great photos, and it will probably take you all of fifteen minutes to visit before heading to town for other sites, or going in the other direction to Cliff Road or some of the beaches.
