In the setting of “Jaws”
Moviegoers know Martha's Vineyard as 'Amity Island” from the movie “Jaws”. The island was used as the set for the film by the young Steven Spielberg.

The Brotherhood of Thieves, Nantucket, Massachusetts
Founded in 1972, The Brotherhood of Thieves is one of the city's institutions. There is a choice between some twelve beers on tap, a variety of liqueurs and food from neighboring farms. On the lower level, you are invited on a journey through time as you experience the bar as whalers from the mid-19th century did. A unique atmosphere, indeed.

Nantucket and its Whale Museum
The island of Nantucket is certainly the most beautiful of the New England Islands. With its rich past, it was once home to the largest whaling port in the country. Time seems to have stopped when you stand and look at the old houses of the captains. A visit to the Whale Museum (13 Broad st, nha.org) located in a former whale oil candle factory, provides a great insight into the unique history of this island.

Stroll down Main Street, Nantucket
Don't miss a stroll along the red brick sidewalks of Main Street through downtown Nantucket. The old homes of rich merchants and master mariners still dominate these streets lined with elm trees. You'll delight in all the luxury boutiques and art galleries along the way, and in the windows of the real estate agencies, you'll notice the prices displayed are among the highest on the East Coast...
