Top Ten Free Ways to Enjoy Nantucket Let's face it. Nantucket has a well deserved reputation for being a rather expensive place to take a vacation. A comparison of prices for almost anything will reveal a good markup from the cost of things on the mainland. But sometimes you have to pay to get away from it all, and with the cachet of anything from Nantucket, has meant you better have some cash to enjoy it.

Other finds might include edible seaweeds like dulse or Irish moss, or heavy, fossilized oyster shells which often wash up on the south shore.
