From surfing to kiteboarding, beach hopping, and hiking, Nantucket has a taste of all outdoor adventures. Spending time in the salty sea, walking along the shores filled with tall grasses, and taking to the air are just ala few of my favorite ways to enjoy the island.
'Sconset Bluff Walk
This 2-mile trail is relaxed, following the Nantucket coastline. Pass through patio areas filled with signs further explaining the history of the area. It’s one of my favorites on an early morning, especially if it’s misty out. 🌫️

Try your hand at kiteboarding with a guide to show you the ropes! I tried the sport for my first time here on Nantucket, the guides know where the wind will be best, the shores to practice on, and when to get you in the water. Don't necessarily expect to start flying around on day one, you may want to schedule a few clinics if you want to master this watersport... it is notoriously difficult. i got a lot of salt water up my nose and sand on my legs the first few times I went out. 🪁
