GETTING AROUND THE ISLAND
We’d recommend bringing your bike
over on the ferry or renting a bike during your stay – it’s
one of the best ways to see the island – town, beaches,
hiking and the studio are all easy biking distances.

WEATHER
The very reason for being here - summertime
on Nantucket! Keep in mind that while daytime is generally
hot, you'll want to bring something warm for evening. Also, be
sure to check weather conditions. Occassionally, high winds can
lead to fast ferry cancelations and heavy fog can lead to flight
delays - be sure to check ahead before traveling.
