Have you ever been to a place that just feels like your home away from home. Its a place that rarely changes and knowing what to expect is part of the reason of your many returns. Well Nantucket is this place for me and while it only changes slightly year to year, it also presents new things by just taking the time to see them. I recently returned and spent a lot of time just watching the world happen around me.
One of the best and most inexpensive activities on the island is to pick a harbor side beach, bring a chair and a cooler and watch some of the biggest yachts cruise on by.

Another great way to spend a Sunday morning in the middle of August, is to head down to Brant point around 930 am and settle in for the Rainbow Fleet. It signals the beginning of the Opera Cup.
For those that enjoy some libations during their vacation, there is one place in particular that will scratch that itch for something cold while enjoying music, food and people watching, Cisco Brewers.
You can take the Nantucket shuttle service, taxi, moped or bike, but if you can hold out til 1230pm and wander to the visitors center in town, a free shuttle awaits to whisk you away to an oasis several miles from town. It is an actual brewery that has turned their grounds into a daily party. It consists of little buildings for all the alcohol they produce. They also have live music, food trucks and corn hole.

If you get the chance to take a four wheel drive on the beach for a afternoon, don't hesitate. Its one of the opportunities that affirms you are not at home deep into a list of chores. One of the best beaches to spend the day at is Madaket beach. Its the other side of the island, about seven miles from downtown Nantucket. While you can ride on most beaches and none are a bad choice, this one in particular is both scenic and known for some of the best sunsets on the island.
There are so many things that make Nantucket a beautiful and special place, but nothing seems to make it shine like the setting sun. Watching it from your front window, on the beach or in town, it presents a sense of calm wrapped up in a warm summer hug.
