Nantucket Historical Bus Tour meeting spot

How to Find Our Bus Tour Pickup Location in Downtown Nantucket
Finding our bus tour pickup location is easy once you know the local street names. If you are heading downtown, the simplest way to navigate is by entering 0 Candle Street into your phone’s GPS. Our pickup area is right in front of Faherty’s in the heart of downtown Nantucket.

Where Exactly Is Candle Street?
Candle Street is a small downtown street that runs between Main Street and Commercial Street. It sits parallel to New Whale Street, the cobblestone lane that follows the waterfront next to the Boat Basin. Because Candle Street is small, many visitors are more familiar with the surrounding landmarks than the street name itself.

Why GPS Can Be Confusing
One reason the pickup location can be tricky to find is that Candle Street is less well known than Easy Street. Easy Street continues from Candle Street once you pass Main Street toward Steamboat Wharf. In practical terms, the corner of Easy Street and Main Street is essentially the same area as the corner of Candle Street and Main Street, so either name may help you get oriented.

Landmarks to Look For
You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see landmarks like Vineyard Vines, The Club Car restaurant, and Faherty’s. The downtown Stop & Shop is directly across the street from our parking spot, making it another easy point of reference if you are walking in from another part of town.

For the smoothest arrival, use 0 Candle Street in your GPS and look for Faherty’s and the nearby downtown storefronts. Once you are in that area, our bus tour pickup location will be easy to spot.
