Shop Local: Browse through boutique shops like Stephanie’s, Murray’s Toggery Shop, and Blue Beetle, stop by The Sunkin Ship, Four Winds, and The Hub for gifts and goodies, and don’t miss the farmers’ market for fresh produce and crafts.

Tom’s Charters. For those looking for a sailing experience with a sweet addition, try the Nantucket By Water Harbor & Ice Cream Cruise!
