Scavenger Hunts in Nantucket

Nantucket is a picturesque island about 30 miles (roughly 50 km) south of Cape Cod, known for its weathered grey-shingled houses, cobblestone streets and beautiful beaches. In the early 19th century it was the whaling capital of the world, and that maritime heritage can still be felt everywhere. Today, it is a beloved summer destination full of history, charm and natural beauty.

Sights

Nantucket Whaling Museum

Run by the Nantucket Historical Association, this museum tells the story of the island's whaling era and features an impressive sperm whale skeleton.

Brant Point Lighthouse

This iconic lighthouse at the harbor entrance welcomes ferries to the island. The first lighthouse on this site dates from 1746, making it one of the oldest light stations in the United States.

Jethro Coffin House

Built in 1686, this is the oldest house on Nantucket still standing on its original site and offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the island's early settlers.

Did you know...

Nantucket is nicknamed 'The Grey Lady' because of the thick fog that frequently rolls in from the sea and envelops the island.

Herman Melville's famous novel 'Moby-Dick' (1851) begins its whaling voyage from Nantucket, where the ship Pequod has its home port.

According to tradition, visitors leaving by ferry toss a penny into the water as they pass Brant Point Lighthouse to ensure they will one day return to the island.
