Nantucket is located 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod. Famous for its unpainted cedar-shingled cottages, cobblestone streets, and high-end boutiques, it is a premier summer destination offering sweeping beaches, lighthouses, and a museum dedicated to its rich 19th-century whaling heritage. It's also expensive and a favorite of the rich and famous.
