Defined in part by its isolation, the tiny island of Nantucket, off Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is a destination for discerning travelers from all over the globe due to its dune-laden beaches, wistful wharves and inviting cobblestone streets.
A secret no one could keep, Nantucket and its 10,000 residents welcome visitors who appreciate its stringent preservation standards, yacht-filled harbor, cedar-shingled buildings, unique shops, historic site and charming inns. It’s hard to imagine this tiny peninsula was once the whaling capitol of the world but it has the museum to prove it.
Things to Do
To appreciate the history of this once-great whaling hub, one must tour Nantucket’s Whaling Museum. 
A 43-foot skeleton of a finback whale greets visitors to the museum featuring the history of the island’s foremost industry.
Explore the natural shoreline of Nantucket by taking a 90-minute tour of the island aboard the majestic sloop Endeavor. Then, continue to explore the island’s natural splendor showcased in an impressive aquarium, natural science museum and observatory.
Unique and island-made arts and crafts fill the wharf shack shopping district of Nantucket. Buy treasures like custom jewelry, art glass and handmade baskets. The island specializes in fine textiles so you can purchase hand-woven throws from Nantucket Looms or take a lesson in rug hooking at Claire Murray. Looking for a good book? Stop by Mitchell’s Book Corner and peruse local and maritime-themed covers.
Popular Dining Spots
Nantucket locals enjoy the feasts of the sea so the restaurants reflect the admiration for the water with plenty of fresh catch selections. Have a special dinner of sumptuous seafood like lobster, clams and bluefish in one of the upscale harbor eateries. 
For a more casual option, enjoy steaming plates of fried delights from Sayle’s Seafood before stopping by the beloved island Pharmacy for an old-fashioned ice cream treat.
Visitors who enjoy fresh fare like fish tacos and swordfish flock to Dune and those looking for the juiciest lobster and steak frites head to Le Languedoc inn and Bistro. Locals flood to Juice Bar for the best homemade ice cream on the island so have a scoop before heading home.

Actor Robin Williams spoke on several occasions about the challenges associated with recovering from addiction. Describing the process as “a very powerful example of the daily battles we have,” he admitted “even long-term recovery people can have a life-threatening relapse at any time.”
During a 2006 interview on Good Morning America, Williams spoke about relapsing. “It waits. It lays in wait for the next time when you think, ‘It’s fine now, I’m okay. Then, the next thing you know, it’s not okay. Then you realize, Where am I? I didn’t realize I was in Cleveland’.”
