Hey everyone, today I’m finally sharing my Nantucket travel review from recent stay at the White Elephant Hotel with Lilly Pulitzer and some fellow bloggers. We stayed at the gorgeous White Elephant hotel on Easton Street overlooking the bay and I must say it is one of the chicest hotels I’ve ever visited. Everything was so beautiful on the property that it almost didn’t even seem real. It was my first time visiting Nantucket, but believe me when I say that it will not be my last!
Scroll through this post for my top Nantucket recommendations and to see photos from our trip as well as our Lily Pulitzer outfit details.

Galley Beach – located near town, beautiful sunsets, chic spot for cocktails with fire pits and a beautiful lounge area | If you love the feeling of your toes in the sand while enjoying a cocktail or glass of wine while watching the sun go down before dinner, this is the post for you! Plus it was absolutely delicious from the appetizers and salad to the entrees and dessert!

Cru – Chic oyster bar located at the Nantucket Boat Basin
Where to Snack:
The Juice Bar | I would go to the Juice Bar every day if I could for their homemade waffles cones and unique ice cream flavors.

Slip 14 – Great spot for cocktails, dockside beers and fish tacos at the Nantucket Boat Basin

Fun Activities:
Take a boat ride! We went on a boat ride on our very first day because it was the best way to see the entire island. We had so much fun listing to music while enjoying snacks, drinks and….yep, you guessed it, LOBSTER ROLLS!
Grab a bike and go cruise around town! We loved riding around town and looking at all of the beautiful homes and even made a stop at Steps Beach, which was absolutely gorgeous. Oh and you know we stopped for lunch, which was my favorite part! We stopped at Something Natural for sanwhiches and cookies and outside on picnic tables. It was so perfect that it was like a day out of storybook.
