Nantucket Beaches:

Nantucket is famous for its drivable beaches. You'll need a permit (get one at the police station in Town) and you'll need to deflate your tires first. Great Point, Smith Point and Eel Point all are drivable beaches.

Surfside and Jetties are good family beaches and both have snack bars. Jetties is the best for small children - very low waves exist because of the location.

Sisco is known as the surfer's beach and has a young adult crowd.

Other things to do:

Athletic types may want to try the Nantucket Surf School (508.560.1020).

When you get sick of the beach, try the famous Nantucket Haunted Hike a walking tour given by "amateur parapsychologist" William Alexander.
