There are over 35 miles of bike paths that connect all areas of Nantucket, and cycling is a fantastic way to explore and get up close to the island’s natural beauty. A loop from Nantucket town to ‘Sconset is an 18-mile round-trip. The routes are color coded with stickers and easy to follow, though still make sure to pick up a map. In addition to the paved routes, exploring off-road on Nantucket Conservation Foundation land can be especially rewarding (just make sure you have thick enough tires). The Wave bus service is equipped with bike racks, so it’s easy to access any of the paths you want to ride. All of the ferry arrival areas have bicycle rental spots close by and you can even get bikes delivered to your front door.
