Why not pay a visit to a Nantucket lighthouse? There are 3 to choose from; don't forget your camera. You can easily drive or bike to Brant Point Light or Sankaty Head, but the trip out to Great Point Light requires a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Better yet, join a guided eco-tour and climb to the top of the 70' tower.
