Nantucket has long been a favorite destination for travelers who just want to escape.  With its pristine beaches, perfect sailing weather, excellent seafood, and a contagious ambiance you feel the second you step onto the island, it is hard to resist.  It is a place where people are in the pursuit of leisure and a simple life.  It is a place where you can spend the entire summer and never want to leave.  It is a place where families come to vacation and leave refreshed and relaxed. Nantucket is the place where memories are made.  It is the place you dream about...Nantucket really is a little piece of heaven.

In Nantucket you must embrace the island's many opportunities.  Things can't be taken for granted.  Everything should be appreciated to the fullest extent.  The sunrise and sunset, the fog in the morning, the crisp afternoons and each breathe of fresh air you take.  Nantucket is a place where you can escape from the fast pace lifestyle of your normal everyday lives.  It is a place where you not only physically get away from it all, but you can mentally get away too. Nathaniel Benchley once wrote, "Nantucket is, quite literally, home to me, but it is also home to any number of people who aren't year round residents.  It is home to some who haven't been there for years; it is home to others who come and go with the seasons; and it is home to a great many more who, probably without knowing it, are groping for what Nantucket has to offer.  It is, more than anything else, a state of mind, and those who achieve it never want for anything more (Gambee 4)."
