FISHER’S MUSTS

WHERE TO BEACH & FISH

You’ll read more about all the beaches Nantucket has to offer in the coming pages, but you can’t go wrong by spending time at our local beaches. Where you’re most likely to find a Team Fisher member is: Fisherman’s, Cisco, 40th Pole, Miacomet or Great Point

>> Remember to purchase a Beach Vehicle Permit if you plan to drive your car onto permitted beaches.

If you want to hit the water, we highly suggest booking an early morning fishing charter with Bill Fisher Outfitters and watching the sunrise while reeling in your first catch of the day.

HIT THE (FOOD) SCENE

Ready for dinner but didn’t make a reservation? Make sure to check with the restaurant beforehand but these are a few of our favorite walk-in spots:

• Millie’s | 326 Madaket Rd | Baja-style dishes & specialty cocktails with ocean views.

• Slip 14 | 14 Old South Wharf | Indoor-outdoor dining with water views.

• The Lobster Trap | 23 Washington St | Classic New England-style seafood.

• Or, The Whale | 38 Main St | Bistro, bar and patio with classic comfort dishes.

If you’re looking for fine dining, we highly recommend making an advanced reservation to any of these crowd-favorite restaurants:

• CRU | 1 Straight Wharf | Stylish hot spot on the water with two bars, a raw bar and can’t-miss lobster rolls.

• Ventuno | 21 Federal St | Elegant Italian eatery with fresh pasta, creative dishes and outdoor seating.

• The Nautilus | 12 Cambridge St | Global-inspired dishes, small plates and inventive craft cocktails.

• Lola 41 | 15 S Beach St | Chic bistro with elevated dishes, sushi bar and gourmet burgers.

>> We hope you left room for dessert because Nantucket has some of the best ice cream around. The lines can be long, but always worth it! Some of our favorites are The Juice Bar, Jack & Charlie’s, Island Kitchen or Millie’s Market

NOT READY TO GO HOME?

If you’re not ready to turn in after dinner there’s always late-night happenings on island, especially live music. The Chicken Box is a live music institution and island “roadhouse” for over 50 years. Be sure to follow them (@theboxnantucket) and purchase concert tickets early! The Gaslight is another great live music venue downtown with local, regional and national bands.

After last call and a dance party, head over to “The Strip” by Steamship Authority for a late night snack. Stubby’s is a local favorite and open until 2am. Pizzeria Gemelle is another downtown favorite with a late night menu starting at 11:30pm.
