Nantucket is an island of sand dunes, wooden areas, salt marsh and tidal ponds. There are 16 miles of walking trails and sand roads starting at Wauwinet towards Great Point – including the popular Beach Trail, Inside Trail, and Coskata Woods Trail – plus miles of beach front.
Boston is a great ‘walking’ city, fun to explore by foot from the waterfront promenade to shady parks and streets lined by distinctive red brick buildings. Most of the marinas are located in the very desirable North End district, a really charming and historic neighborhood, with a maze of alleys and streets filled with Italian pastries, restaurants and old buildings.
Old Boston Tours offer very interesting guided tours of the oldest parts of the city.
