30 miles south of Cape Cod, Nantucket fattened itself like a grey seal pup on its mother's milk from the whaling industry in the nineteenth century. It is now a summer escape for high powered types from New York and Boston, who are no doubt attracted by its rose-embroidery, cobbly streets, and beaches of golden sand.

Located at the easternmost point of Nantucket Island, Sankaty Head was built in 1850. It was one of the first lighthouses in the States to receive a Fresnel lens, far more compact than earlier models. The lighthouse has helped mariners navigate the hazardous shoals off the Nantucket coastline ever since.
Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge

Maria Mitchell Observatory
Peer into the secrets of the universe through the state of the art 24 inch research telescope at this functioning research observatory. Guided tours and special events, like lectures from world experts, are regular features of this remarkable observatory.
Muskeget Island
Muskeget Island marks the maximal extent of the last glacial ice sheet to reach the north-eastern coast, millions of years ago.

The waters surrounding the island are a feeding ground for everyone's favorite predator - the great white shark.
