One of the “Best Islands in the World,” Nantucket is dubbed The Faraway Land and known the world over for its charming cobblestone streets, rich history, beautiful gardens and rugged nature. The heart of Nantucket is idyllic Main Street, a beautiful thoroughfare where remarkably preserved 18th and 19th-century architecture coexists, along with shady streets and walking paths, shops, galleries, museums, theaters, bed & breakfasts, and restaurants.
