So many things!  Biking yes, definitely.  Beaches on the south shore.  On the way back, stop at Cisco Brewers, Bartlett Farm, and the fish market at  167 Hummock Pond Rd.  Check out the boats in the harbor and marina, rent your own and go to Coatue, or sail on the Endeavor.   Hikes, take your pick, Sanford Farm is popular.  View from the top of the Congregational Church tower or Altar Rock.  Whaling Museum and Nantucket Shipwreck and Lifesaving Museum if it rains.  Dining:  Ventuno, Centre St. Bistro.  Film Festival June 22-26.  Go online @ http://www.mahonabouttown.com the best place to find out what's going on.

Thanks Susan! I am actually gonna catch the comedy roundtable at the Film Fest with friends who are local. And definitely want to see the Whaling Museum. I'll keep in mind the other things you mentioned.

if you're a photographer at heart Ryna, you might want to try to catch the sunset from Brant Point.  Good spot to also bring a bottle of wine, a little cheese, crusted bread and grapes!!  Like I said, wine and sunset, that's a romantic moment in the making!!  Have a nice and safe trip!

I loved renting bikes as a kid and riding them around the island.
