Coast: Nantucket

Nantucket, affectionately known as 'The Little Gray Lady of the Sea', is an island of extraordinary architectural and natural beauty. In the 19th century it was the world capital of the whaling industry, a legacy that is reflected today in its 18th-century cobblestone streets, its captains' mansions with gray tile roofs worn by wind and fog, and its historic lighthouses. Just minutes from the bustling harbor filled with luxury yachts, the island offers miles of wild dunes, protected heaths and Atlantic beaches of incomparable purity.
