Travel, traveler, pack.

Anyone who’s been to Nantucket knows what a wonderful place it is for vacation. If you’re getting ready for a trip to this delightful island, you’re in for a great time. And this is the perfect time to remind you that how much you enjoy your time spent here will be at least partly determined by how wisely you pack. Here’s our guide on what to bring to make sure you have a fun and memorable trip:

Beach Essentials

First things first – the pristine sands and clean waters of Nantucket’s beaches beckon. Don’t forget to pack your sunscreen for obvious reasons and your beach towel for lounging in comfort. If you can fit either of them, a beach umbrella and shade tent can provide a respite from the midday heat. Of course, you’ll want to remember to bring your swimsuit along as well.

Outdoor Exploration Gear

Nantucket is far more than just its beaches. This island offers a wealth of outdoor adventures waiting to be discovered. So, whether you’re hiking the island’s scenic trails or biking along its picturesque paths, you’re going to need comfortable footwear.

It’s also wise to bring along a daypack to hold your water bottle, snacks, and the camera you’ll use to capture evidence of the breathtaking views. You may also want to consider picking up a guidebook or map to more easily navigate the streets and landmarks of Nantucket.

Casual and Evening Attire

While Nantucket exudes a laid-back island vibe during the day, evenings often call for a touch of casual elegance. Pack a few casual outfits that can transition seamlessly from day to night, along with a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Whether you’re dining al fresco at a seaside restaurant or strolling through town under the starlit sky, comfortable yet stylish attire will ensure you blend in perfectly with the island’s relaxed atmosphere.
