Straight Wharf

 Although not listed in "Walking Nantucket," one of my favorite walks is to walk down Main St. to Straight Wharf. Kids love this walk too anytime they get to stop in to The Toy Boat and get some new marbles. As the site where the ferries come in and out, there's always a crowd of people moving one way or another on the wharf. The cobblestone streets, smell of the fish, and excitement of ferry passengers make straight wharf a special place. I love to sit on a bench and eat a fresh sandwich from Provisions or smoked bluefish, shrimp, and raw oysters from the Straight Wharf Fish Market.
