Fourth of July Festivities

What's better than a beachside barbecue on Independence Day? Pack your picnic basket, grab your sunscreen, and head to Nantucket's picturesque beaches.

As night falls, prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking fireworks lighting up the sky off of Jettie's Beach. The display begins at 9 pm.

Renting a car allows you to discover hidden gems at your own pace. Explore Sanford Farm, a vast conservation area with beautiful walking trails and stunning views of the landscape. Immerse yourself in Squam Swamp, a unique ecosystem where you can spot various bird species and enjoy a tranquil hike. Or, discover the beauty of the 'Sconset Bluff Walk, a scenic coastal path that offers breathtaking vistas of the ocean.

Treat your taste buds to fresh seafood delights at Straight Wharf Fish Store, a local favorite offering a variety of mouthwatering dishes prepared with locally-sourced ingredients. Indulge in a fine dining experience at the renowned Galley Beach, where you can savor delectable cuisine while enjoying ocean views. Visit the Cisco Brewers and Nantucket Vineyard to sample locally crafted beers, wines, and spirits in a vibrant atmosphere.

Museums and Historic Sites

Immerse yourself in Nantucket's seafaring history at the Nantucket Whaling Museum, where you can explore exhibits and artifacts, and learn about the island's whaling heritage. Step back in time at the historic Jethro Coffin House, the oldest house on Nantucket, to experience life in the 17th century and gain insights into the island's early settlers. If you're in the mood for scientific experiences, visit the Maria Mitchell Association, which includes the Maria Mitchell Aquarium and the Maria Mitchell Observatory.
