This premium bike has 8 speeds, hydraulic disc brakes, bell, and rear luggage rack and can be outfitted with a basket to carry all your beach essentials.

Things
To Do In
Nantucket!
No visit to Nantucket is complete without a stop at its iconic lighthouses and a bike ride through its charming cobblestone streets. And then there are the island's many beaches like Jetties (great for families) and Surfside (great for watersports). When you're not soaking up the rays on the shoreline, get a history lesson at the Whaling Museum. And while you're inland, don't forget to explore hidden gems like Cisco Brewers for a pleasant, sand-free afternoon. Read our Things To Do In Nantucket guide to learn more.
Brant Point Light House
Nantucket's iconic Brant Point Light is said to be the country's second oldest lighthouse by some aficionados. While this superlative isn't completely true — the current tower dates back to 1901, but the station has hosted a lighthouse since 1746 — the attraction remains a popular spot to view Nantucket Town's harbor.
Go to the Beach!
There are so many beaches on this little island, making it difficult to pick just one for your perfect summer day. College kids head to Nobadeer, families with young ones prefer Children's Beach, and that's just the beginning. There's a patch of sand for every mood, style, and situation.
Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge
Located at the northern point of Nantucket, the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge provides a protected habitat for hundreds of osprey and other rare sea birds. Other activities include surf-fishing, hiking and checking out the Great Point Lighthouse, but according to recent visitors, off-roading along the 16 miles of trails is probably the most popular activity on the refuge.
Eat & Drink Like a Local
Almost every country, or even city, is known for a particular drink or spirit, whether its sake in Japan, whisky in Scotland or Cisco Brewery in Nantucket.
RECOMMENDED:
- Cisco Brewery
- Òran Mór
- Pip and Anchor
