When to visit Nantucket:

The summer season is busy and vibrant, but fall on Nantucket is an amazing time to visit as well. With dwindling crowds and cooler weather, the shoulder season provides more privacy for you to explore the island. Our recommendation? Plan your trip to Nantucket with Cape Air mid-April through mid-October.
