The Nantucket Visitor Center & Information Bureau is not far from Main Street and the ferry docks (map), and it's open from 9 am until the evening hours (usually 6 pm) during the summer (10 am to 4 pm on Sunday), shorter hours off-season.

Here's a free Google map of Nantucket.

The Visitor Center provides other maps of the island, brochure racks advertising local businesses, and same-day room reservations—if there are any rooms available which, in the busy summer season, there rarely are.

Medical Care

Should you need medical care, they'll probably send you to the Nantucket Cottage Hospital, 57 Prospect Street at Vesper Lane (tel 508-825-8100; map), a modern, accredited facility despite its cute name.
