Walking is a great way to experience Nantucket and view its 18th-century historic architecture and streetscapes. If you arrive on Nantucket by ferry, you will be within walking distance of many of the island's restaurants, inns, shops, and historic sites that are within a 10-minute walk from Main Street.
Guided walking tours of the historic district are available. Various island organizations offer nature walks and bird walks throughout the summer season. Nantucket's many beaches are ideal for walking and beachcombing, and there are established walking trails within a number of the island's conservation areas. Land owned by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation is marked by a maroon and white post painted with their logo, and land owned by the Nantucket Land Bank is marked by a green-and-white post. When using these trails, please protect the plants on the dunes, grasslands, and heathlands. Leave wildflowers for all to enjoy, and always dispose of litter properly.
