Explore Town
Almost all of the island's shops and restaurants can be found on Main, Federal, and Central Streets in the heart of town. Find charming, tree-lined, cobblestone streets, countless world-class restaurants, beautiful art galleries, and preppy, luxurious shopping. Walk to the harbor at the edge of town to watch the boats coming in and out of the island. Pick up fresh flowers for your summer home or hotel room from one of the several farm trucks that park themselves on Main Street. Wander into the historic
Whaling Museum, Nantucket Pharmacy, the classic old drugstore soda fountain,
Nantucket Bake Shop, historic and home to some of the best sweets in the state, or
Mitchell's Bookstore, the 42 year old bookstore and Nantucket staple.
