Off the coast of Massachusetts lies the special island of Nantucket, where history lives and traditions are maintained . Nantucket is a unique and beautiful island, with miles and miles of sandy beaches, deeply wooded moors, colorful cranberry bogs, and an entire ocean beckoning from all sides. It's also a quaint island, where worn cobblestone streets, lined with the historic residences of whaling captains, lead to one of New England's most picturesque harbors.
