brant point lighthouse

Great location and easy to reach from downtown. The lighthouse is well maintained and allows you great views of the boat traffic in and out of the harbor. Certainly worth the visit.

We enjoyed our walk from town down to the Brant point lighthouse. The caretakers had just finished put a huge red bow on the lighthouse for the Christmas holidays. Very charming little lighthouse. We wished we could have gone inside.

My husband and I were married here at sunset, and it was perfect! We were fortunate to have perfect weather, and a beautiful sunset!

small but picturesque light house on a white sandy beach with a great view of the harbor. lots of pretty shells on the beach and beautiful beach grass

The lighthouse is a short drive from the center of Nantucket. You could walk to it, as well. Parking is definitely a problem, as the streets that are nearby all have NO PARKING signs. But, once you get to where the lighthouse is located, you walk down one of several sandy paths to get to the lighthouse. It's not huge. It is well-painted and overlooks the Nantucket harbor.

This is a small lighthouse put the first to see what you sale in Nantucket Harbor. It is a wonderful place to walk out to, sit on the beach and look at the harbor, watch the boats and watch the people. Great photo ops.

Brant point is well known and is the 1st light house you see when you arrive by Ferry. I have seen many pictures of it but seeing it in person is amazing.

A short walk from town and you felt you were in another world. Would have liked to have more onsite information.

the walk by the beach till you get to the lighthouse and picking up empty shells is relaxing and take you away from the busy life,

We got to climb to the top (27 feet) and see the interior on Saturday, 9/20 during the Maritime Festival. Brant Point Lighthouse is open once a year during this festival in September. Don't miss this opportunity if you happen to be in Nantucket during the festival weekend.

We walk the beach there and pick up great shells. This is the entrance to the harbor so it's fun to watch the activity

We stopped at this lighthouse while on a bike tour of the town. It a beautiful spot that is easy to get to while touring Nantucket.

It's the first thing you see as you come in with the Nantucket Ferry, almost a symbol of Nantucket! It's a great place to just sit back and relax with a book, great to come here for a walk after summer and have a sorbet or ice cream cones.

Very pretty views from Brant Point. The lighthouse is small, but pretty. This is a nice beach to sit at, but it's important to note that there are lots of shells so sunbathing might be challenging.

The reason I put average is that it is a cute little light house, but the views and the beach are what make the walk out there worth it. If staying at the Brandt Point Inn it a must do as it is very close
