Come Visit
Tori and Tyler will be staying with a group of friends at a rental house in Town. Feel free to use it as a landing pad, or just stop by and visit.

Tori and Tyler will have their boat on a slip right outside of CRU the whole weekend and will be frequenting it often. Feel free to go hangout on it anytime and let us know if you’d like to go out for a harbor cruise!
Slip location is number 1034 directly in front of CRU.
Boat Basin, 1 Straight Wharf,Straight Wharf, Nantucket, MA 02554
Cisco Brewery
This is an Island favorite and the perfect afternoon pick-me-up after a day in the sun!
One of Tyler and Tori’s first dates was here. They took a quick day trip over, enjoyed the indian summer sunshine, live music and a few of the infamous Figawi-Wowies. Tyler tried to impress Tori in a keg holding competition, which was equal parts hilarious and humbling.
The outdoor courtyard provides a place to relax and enjoy live music, fresh oysters and clams, food trucks, and all sorts of drink options.
Cisco offers a courtesy van, traveling non-stop, back and forth, every afternoon between the Visitor’s Center downtown at 25 Federal St. and the brewery, for free.
Sandbar at Jetties Beach
Who doesn’t love a beach bar? We certainly do. An open-air restaurant, adirondack chairs in the sand, raw bar, burgers and all the frozen cocktails you can drink, make this the quintessential beachfront experience.
Jetties Beach route on the WAVE leaves town from Broad Street
(in front of the Whaling Museum) every 30 minutes
(on the hour and half hour) from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The bus leaves Jetties Beach every 30 minutes
(at quarter after and quarter of every hour) from 10:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.

The Gazebo
Home of the best mudslide on the Island and just steps away from the ferry, Gazebo is probably the first and last stop you want to make on Island. Wait out the taxi or ferry lines and indulge in an adult milkshake that’s worth every single calorie.
Pro tip: If you have bags you don’t want to hold on to, ask to store them in The Tavern (the affiliated restaurant next door).
-
Galley Beach
One of the most elegant restaurants on the Island and the best place to take in the sunset, Galley Beach is a bucket list dining experience. Between the lounges, fire pits, cabanas, white linens and in-sand seating, you may mistake yourself for somewhere on the Amalfi Coast.
Plan ahead: The restaurant starts taking reservations 14 days in advance, and they will book up.
-
The Box
Dubbed as “Internationally Infamous”, The Chicken Box aka ‘The Box’ is the Island’s main night life spot. Wear shoes that you don’t mind getting covered in Bud Light and get ready for a lot of dancing, drinking and debauchery. There’s always live entertainment, and if dancing isn’t your thing, there’s dartboards, pool tables and ping-pong.
Pro tip: Get there early, or you’ll spend the entire night in line.

Experience / Culture
Explore the islands history at the whaling museum in Town.
This is an exceptional walk on a public footpath along the east shore bluffs behind private houses. Around 2 miles with scenic coastal views.
End your ‘Sconset Bluff walk at this beloved Nantucket icon and landmark. It was built in 1850, automated in 1965, and is still in operation.
One of the best surf beaches on Nantucket. Popular for it’s seclusion and ability to drive on the beach.
Nantucket is very bike friendly, with paths stretching from Madaket (west) to 'Sconset (east). Bikes are easy to rent from Cooks, Young's, or the Nantucket Bike Shop, all located right in town. You can take your bikes back to town on "The Wave Shuttle" if you get tired!
