quint stock photos 018July 4th falls on a Sunday this year so Nantucket will host most of their activities on July 3rd.  Be sure to come to Main Street for pie and watermelon eating contests, face painting, a  dunk tank to cool you off and of course the annual water fight at high noon-this is a water fight like none other and is not to be missed!

The fireworks will be launched from a barge off of Jetties Beach at 9 pm on Sunday the 4th-weather permitting. This is the perfect way to end your holiday weekend.  Be sure to tear yourself from your Nantucket vacation rental early to go to Jetties to stake your claim on a good spot on the beach for watching the fireworks.  Happy Fourth!

When on Nantucket Island and trying to figure out what the day’s activities are going to be, Ack Weather is a wonderful resource to utilize. This new site is brought to you by the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum.

Anyone who spends time here knows the weather can be different from what is reported on the Cape and often times very different from what is reported in Boston.

This site provides the viewer with information regarding the tides, wave heights, wind speed and direction and barometric pressure. So while vacationing at your Nantucket summer house, the five-day forecasts can tell you  that today may be a movie day and that tomorrow is a great time  to hit the beach.

Coming by car? You can see live webcam shots of the bridges over the Cape Cod Canal. Two if by sea? The Hy- Line and Steamship Authority ferry schedules will tell you what boat you need to catch. If by air, Cape Air and Island Air schedules are also available.

Enjoy the  new Nantucket weather site! You can customize the page to those sources that most meet your needs, and most of all enjoy your stay on our magical island of Nantucket.

sacred momentsNantucket summer rentals spark the interest of things to do in Nantucket. One of my daughter’s favorite teachers from her boarding school was planning an August trip to Nantucket with his young family. He asked her for a list of “non-touristy” things to do on the Island.  At first, my daughter was feeling the weight of responsibility and was perhaps concerned that her ideas might make or break her revered faculty member’s vacation.  But after our whole family weighed in, the list was proclaimed “the most awesome list ever” by her teacher.

The truth is that exploring Nantucket is as individual and unique an experience as the island itself.  Indeed, for Mr. K’s family, our list will be merely a starting point. Perhaps they’ll go crabbing at Long Pond, visit Cisco Brewery for a picnic and some live music, discover peaceful uncrowded beaches, have lunch on the deck at Miacomet Golf Club, or walk the tiny streets of ‘Sconset with an ice cream cone. But somehow I know they will discover sacred places and create memories all their own.  That’s the magic that is Nantucket.

100_2781The Striped bass fishing on Nantucket continues to be good, just in time for your Nantucket summer rental! The bass are feeding aggressively near shore and are getting bigger. Many fish have been caught in the 33’” range and there was a report of a 38” Bass caught in Nantucket Harbor.

When the surf and wind conditions permit, the South Shore beaches from Madaket to Tom Nevers have been productive. Some nice catches have also been reported on the North shore from Dionis up to the Jetties.

Nantucket Harbor is also beginning to heat up. The Bass that many have seen are now starting to bite. There have also been reports of  Striped Bass on the East end of the Island.

Dionis and Nantucket Harbor are good places to fish if you are looking for Bluefish. They are showing up all around the Island and should become even more established in the next few weeks as the water continues to warm up.

Great Point is now closed from the southern end of the Galls up to the Point due to nesting Piping Plovers. There have been a few small bass caught along the East side. As always, when you  move into your Nantucket summer house, be sure to check in with any of the local Nantucket Tackle Shops or your favorite Charter Boat Captain for the latest details about fishing on Nantucket.
