Nantucket's history as the whaling capital of the world is best told by this museum. Well worth the visit even though tickets are roughly $20 and it's a short walk-thru.

My favorite beach on Nantucket - beautiful views of the epic homes on Cliff Road, calmer and warmer waters than the South shore, and a long shelf so that kids can wade out far from the beach. Sunset is excellent for picture taking.
