WHY NANTUCKET?

N antucket was once the whaling capital of the world, and as such was the place where incredible fortunes were created. You can see some of the stately mansions erected by whaling entrepreneurs of the past, some of which have been converted into inns and B&Bs where you can stay the night, living for a little while in the same surroundings they did.

These days, however, the whalers are lost in the mists of history and legend, replaced by hoards of tourists that descend on the island in the prime summer season.

I always like to go to Nantucket (or places like Cape Cod or the Hamptons) just before the season or just after it. The weathers just as excellent, the difficulty getting into restaurants nonexistent, the shops and beaches less crowded.

But, you go when you can, of course, and for many, that means summer.

B esides enjoying the old mansions, attractions like the , the cobblestone streets, the cedar shake houses, the romantic restaurants, the harborside pubs where you can share a pint with the locals, you get to take in the areas of the island that remain completely pristine. You get to enjoy the windswept seascapes, cranberry bogs, freshwater ponds, salt marshes.

Nantucket is home to a lot of wealthy people, but you can be right beside them, whether you stay overnight or are just making a day-trip out of it.

As with any tourist town, there are a lot of tourist traps and crappy restaurants, but youll find good selections here that will not lead you astray.
