Shopping on Nantucket

Nantucket's charming downtown is a shopper's paradise. Cobblestone Main Street and its surrounding lanes are lined with boutiques, galleries, and specialty shops - many locally owned and offering items you won't find anywhere else. From classic Nantucket reds to handcrafted lightship baskets, there's something special around every corner.

Main Street

The heart of Nantucket shopping. Brick storefronts house upscale boutiques, jewelry stores, and lifestyle shops. The cobblestones can be tricky in heels, but the window shopping alone is worth the stroll.

Centre Street

Connecting Main to Straight Wharf, Centre Street has a mix of galleries, clothing shops, and the famous Hub stationery store.

Straight Wharf

Near the ferry, the wharf has galleries, waterfront dining, and tourist-friendly shops. More casual than Main Street.

Old South Wharf

Small artisan galleries and studios in a scenic waterfront setting. Great for locally made art and crafts.
