Even the most urban corners of Nantucket hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Main Street offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Cisco Brewers for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
