The Wave routes also change seasonally, and run most frequently in peak season. Tips For Using The Wave: Tickets are purchased on board the shuttle, and you should plan to carry exact cash, as change is only given in the form of vouchers to use for future rides. I’ve used The Wave a lot during my trips to Nantucket, and it’s a good way to get around. From town, you can take a Wave Shuttle to both Madaket Beach and ‘Sconset. The Wave Shuttle is Nantucket’s public transit system, and is a small bus that has routes going to all the towns on the island. Uber is also reliable, but probably a bit slower if you’re coming from a big city and used to fast pick-up times. For a day trip, I would automatically rule out renting a car since you’ll be spending a lot of time in town, and parking is very challenging and not worth your time or energy. To get around the entire island, you have a few options, which include the Wave Shuttle, renting a car, bike or moped, or using Uber. It’s really delicious food with a great summer cocktail menu. And be sure to definitely stop at Millie’s for lunch or cocktails and small bites. This option is worth it if you prefer a quieter, off-the-beaten-path atmosphere with an amazing beach to sit and enjoy for a bit. Besides the beach, and an awesome restaurant right by the beach called Millie’s, there isn’t much else out there to do. I think Madaket is one of the prettiest beaches in all of Nantucket (and also has the most amazing sunset). See below on “How To Get Around Nantucket” for detailed information on these options. To visit either town, you’ll need to either rent a bike or moped, get an Uber, or take the Wave Shuttle. You can’t go wrong with either choice for a day trip, as they’re both pretty much the same distance from town, and equally beautiful in their own ways. Should I Visit Madaket or ‘Sconset On My Day Trip? A lot of people I take here have ordered the “Crantucket” flavor and have loved it. If you plan to get some ice cream while on the island, this is my favorite place. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to ice cream, so maybe don’t arrive thinking your mind will be blown (I hope I haven’t built it up too much for you), but it is really delicious, homemade ice cream, and I do think the waffle cones are also so, so good. For me, a day trip to Nantucket is worth it just to come get my ice cream and waffle cone at Juice Bar. So guys, my favorite ice cream and waffle cones of all time (yes, ALL time) are at Juice Bar on Nantucket. You could probably spend your whole afternoon just browsing the shops. It’ll be expensive since Nantucket is a bit of an affluent area, but the stores are very inspiring to stroll through, and you’ll still find some affordable souvenir shops. Nantucket’s main town is home to all the best boutiques, and shopping on the island is amazing. And there’s actually a lot to see in town, making your day trip to Nantucket completely worth it.

These 6 options will allow you plenty of time to really experience the atmosphere, while seeing some of the best and most beautiful parts of the island. There are way more things to do on Nantucket than what I’m outlining below, but with a day trip, you don’t want to pack too much in, and you really should have time to enjoy all the things you choose to see and do to make your day trip to Nantucket worth it.įor that reason, I’m narrowing down the 6 best things to see and do during a day trip, especially if it’s your first time visiting the island. 6 Best Things To Do On Nantucket During A Day Trip And of course, there will be plenty of options to get outside of the main town to explore other parts of the island if you’re feeling up for it.

Once you arrive at the ferry dock, you’ll be right in the middle of town, and within walking distance to the main wharf, shops, restaurants, Brant Point Lighthouse and some of the most beautiful and historic side streets. The shops along the wharf are so charming, and the first ones you’ll see as you get off the ferry.
