Best Hotels Near Brant Point Lighthouse Nantucket

Brant Point Lighthouse at the entrance to Nantucket Harbour is the second-oldest lighthouse site in America, first built in 1746, and is one of the most recognisable symbols of the island — the traditional farewell involves throwing a penny overboard as the ferry passes the lighthouse to ensure a safe return. The small white lighthouse with its red door is perfectly photogenic and marks the approach to the island's beautiful harbour. Hotels near Nantucket Town are within walking distance of Brant Point and the ferry docks.
