Nantucket - The Delaplaine 2022 Long Weekend Guide

By Andrew Delaplaine

A complete guide for everything you need to experience a great Long Weekend in NANTUCKET, a fascinating island that's completely different from nearby Martha's Vineyard.

"I've been wanting to go to Nantucket for years but never got around to it, but my wife thought it sounded like a bad idea, since we always go to the Vineyard. Now that we've been for a long weekend to check it out, my wife and I plan to return again within 6 months. She loved it as much as I did. What a charming island!"

---Eugene H., Dallas

WHY NANTUCKET?

Nantucket was once the whaling capital of the world, and as such was the place where incredible fortunes were created. You can see some of the stately mansions erected by whaling entrepreneurs of the past, some of which have been converted into inns and B&Bs where you can stay the night, living for a little while in the same surroundings they did.

These days, however, the whalers are lost in the mists of history and legend, replaced by hoards of tourists that descend on the island in the prime summer season.

I always like to go to Nantucket (or places like Cape Cod or the Hamptons) just before the season or just after it. The weather’s just as excellent, the difficulty getting into restaurants nonexistent, the shops and beaches less crowded.

But, you go when you can, of course, and for many, that means summer.

Besides enjoying the old mansions, attractions like the Whaling Museum, the cobblestone streets, the cedar shake houses, the romantic restaurants, the harborside pubs where you can share a pint with the locals, you get to take in the areas of the island that remain completely pristine. You get to enjoy the windswept seascapes, cranberry bogs, freshwater ponds, salt marshes.
