If there is one word to describe Nantucket – its beauty, its experience and its people – that word is authentic. The famed lighthouses, windmills, cobblestone streets and 19th century architecture that dot Nantucket’s fabled landscape are not the result of fabrication or of fashion, but of character that has stood the test of time. It’s the island’s ability to integrate modern conveniences with its timeless setting that help to maintain its authentic character. Sailing out of Nantucket Harbor has been joined by surfing on wireless connections throughout town. The perfect clam chowder can be paired with the perfect Pinot Gris. And bicycles are always a favored form of transportation regardless of age.
