7) Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge - Epic Adventure Video
This is a beautifully remote conservation refuge, located at the northern point of Nantucket, the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge protects the habitat for hundreds of osprey, deer, seals, snowy owls, and other rare sea birds; it is over 1100 acres with 16 miles of trails and sand roads (require off-road permits-purchase from gatehouse attendant for $160).
A trip from Wauwinet Gatehouse out to Great Point Lighthouse is over 5 miles (Beware: driving may be treacherous with changing tides and soft sand). The Great Point Lighthouse is 70n feet tall, and can be seen from Jetties Beach, over 7 miles away. Other popular activities include surf-fishing, hiking and checking out the Great Point Light (video), but according to recent visitors, off-roading along the shoreline is probably the most popular activity on the refuge.You can drive your own four-wheel drive automobile or rent one to test the sand.

8) Surfside Beach - Nantucket Beautiful Aerial Video
Surfside Beach, located on the southern shore, is one of the most popular beaches on the island. It's definitely one of the most amenity-rich stretches of sand, too: Public rentals, showers, food kiosks and lifeguards are all here in the peak beach season. And although the waves may be too choppy for younger travelers, Surfside is great for catching a wave and participating in other gnarly watersports. Waves Video
Beware: *cars with beach passes can drive on the dunes and park*

9) Bike to Sankaty Head Lighthouse
- video
Built in 1850, this brick lighthouse stands at Nantucket's highest elevation, 111 feet abobe the sea on a bluff, and one of the best ways to visit Sankaty Head Lighthouse is by bicycle, particularly if you’re coming from town. The peaceful ride on the sidewalk along The Milestone Road takes you past 9 miles of fragrant bayberry, pitch pine, heath, broom, and wildlife, into the charming village of Siasconset, where you can then pedal past rose-covered cottages and up Baxter Road to the picturesque lighthouse. Go Pro Video
The Sankaty Head Light is located in the village of Siasconset on Nantucket's eastern shore and overlooks the prestigious Sankaty Head Golf Course. The lighthouse;s original lens is in the Whaling Museum today. - Aerial Video

10) Bartlett's Farm Produce - video
At least once a week my family would load up on fresh fruits and vegetables at Bartlett’s Farm, founded in the early 1800s by the Bartlett family, who still own the farm today. Although it has grown to include a garden center and market, offering prepared dishes, dry goods, organic foods, and home goods, those in the know still buy locally-grown produce-video.

13) The Old Mill - Nantucket top Attractions Video
Perched on a hill at 50 Prospect St. is the oldest functioning windmill in the country, a 50-foot, grey-shingled, octagonal structure with four 30-foot long, red arms. Carpenter Nathan Wilbur built the mill in 1746 entirely from the wood of shipwrecks; the grain-grinding millstones came from Quincy. Wilbur used the mill for many years until it fell into disrepair. Numerous islanders stepped in over the years to rescue it, ending with the Nantucket Historical Association, which has completely restored the mill to working order, including its ability to grind corn. 50 Prospect St.

10) Madaket Beach - video
Madaket is the small town at the western end of Nantucket Island. It is a very quiet town, with almost no commercial businesses. We like to go there because its beach is almost always empty, and is a nice quiet place to read a book, look for seashells, and help Anna build sand castles. There are almost no waves at this end of the island, and the water is very calm. Sunset video

11) Maria Mitchell Aquarium - video
The aquarium is great for small children because it allows them to touch many of the sea creatures, including horseshoe crabs, clams, and other shellfish. The aquarium's highlight is its blue lobster, a rare creature that looks like a normal lobster but is colored blue instead of red due to an unusual recessive gene.

12) Jetties Beach - video
Northern Jetties is pretty similar to its southern, sandy counterpart, Surfside. Both bustle with activity in the summer and are loaded with beachside perks like food carts and public bathrooms. But there are two major things that set Jetties apart.1) Because of its location on Nantucket Sound, Jetties' waves are much calmer than those found at Surfside, making it a better place for younger or less-experienced swimmers. 2) Jetties has a boardwalk lined with casual eateries, keeping visitors from going hungry on an all-day beach trip.

13) The Jetties - video
These craggy, blackened, parallel stretches of granite stones — each running approximately 400 yards out from Nantucket Harbor — were built in the 1880s to warn whaling ships about a treacherous sandbar that had caused numerous shipwrecks.
