By Sand or by Sea
Nantucket is one of the most idyllic destinations in the country and stepping out into its sunny, temperate climate is a must. Any debate about whether to spend your time on shore or on boat should end in a compromise: do both. Here's a primer to get started.
Beachgoing. Ringed with pristine beaches, Nantucket Island offers plenty of surf and all-purpose sand for kind of vacationer. Dionis and Jetties are popular North Shore haunts with plenty to do for families and solo adventurers alike. Surfers head for the swells of South Shore, Surfside and Cisco. You can also strike out for solitude via bike, foot, or, if you have the permit that comes with most rented vehicles, by jeep.
Sail away. Step off the island and sail out into the blue with Endeavor Sailing. While aboard a replica of an early 1900s single-masted vessel, you and your crew will be treated to a traditional sailing experience. You'll tour the sound and harbor, and soak in some of Nantucket's rich history. Sunset sails are both romantic and delightful.

Forecasting Your Nantucket Vacation
Visiting Nantucket is possible anytime of the year, though summer is the most popular season, when there is warmer, sunnier weather, making visiting the beach, fishing and bike riding, among other activities, very pleasant. The summer season typically begins around Memorial Day weekend and ends around Labor Day weekend though fall events and early spring festivals attract visitors to the island outside of the high season.
