HughTips from Discover Nantucket Tours
Whether you’re planning a weekend or longer getaway, packing smart can make your visit to Nantucket even more enjoyable. At Discover Nantucket Tours, we want to make sure you’re prepared for the island’s charm, coastal breezes, and unforgettable adventures. Here’s a brief, handy guide on what to bring along:
Essentials for Every Season
🧥 Layered Clothing
Nantucket’s weather can change quickly—even in summer. Mornings and evenings tend to be cooler, especially near the water. Bring a light jacket, sweatshirt, or waterproof windbreaker to stay comfortable during your tour.
🧢 Sun Protection
The ocean breeze might fool you, but the sun here is strong! Don’t forget:
- Sunscreen (reef-safe is best)
- Sunglasses
- A wide-brimmed hat or cap
👟 Comfortable Footwear
You’ll likely be walking cobblestone streets, sandy beaches, or scenic trails. Wear sneakers or comfortable walking shoes—and consider sandals if you’re planning to hit the beach.
Helpful Extras
📷 Camera (as a backup for your Smartphone)
From lighthouses and historic homes to stunning sea views, you’ll want to capture the memories. Be sure your phone or camera is charged—extra batteries or a portable charger come in handy!
💧 Reusable Water Bottle
Stay hydrated, especially on sunny days. A refillable bottle is eco-friendly and perfect for long walks or bike rides.
🎒 Daypack or Tote Bag
Great for carrying your essentials—especially if you’re picking up local goods, snacks, or beach souvenirs along the way.
For the Beach or Tour
🧴 Bug Spray
In summer months, bug spray can be a lifesaver—especially if you’re visiting salt marshes or enjoying an evening stroll.
🧼 Hand Sanitizer & Wipes
Always useful when you’re on the go or exploring outdoor spots with limited facilities.
🧺 Towel or Blanket
Perfect if you’re planning a beach stop or impromptu picnic at one of the island’s scenic spots.
Optional, but Smart
🧭 Map or Offline App
Cell service can be spotty in certain areas. Having a map (or downloading offline versions of Nantucket guides) can be really helpful.
📚 Notebook or Journal
Nantucket tends to inspire—whether it’s a poem, a sketch, or just your thoughts. You might be glad you brought something to write in.
