Hi friends, welcome back to my Nantucket series! Our second day on the island was extra special because we were celebrating Jon’s birthday. We started the day grabbing some lattes from Handlebar Cafe to enjoy on picturesque Main Street.
We freshened up for the day and headed to our new favorite lunch spot, Born & Bread, for some breakfast and sandwiches for the beach.
Jon and I packed up our beach bag, borrowed some beach chairs from the inn, and headed to Jetties Beach. From our inn it was about a fifteen-minute walk which wasn’t too bad. You can also take a bus from town to the beach that runs roughly every half hour. We found an empty spot, set up our chairs, and enjoyed the view of Nantucket Sound.
The weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky. We were escaping a heatwave back home and it felt incredible to have the ocean breeze and cooler temps.
Doesn’t get much better than a delicious sandwich at the beach.
Eventually it came time to walk back home to clean up for dinner. We went to Bar Yoshi on the pier and had a tasty meal alongside a great view.
Jon and I strolled around after dinner before making our way back to the Juice Bar.
We headed back to our room so Jon could facetime our families. A nice end to a relaxing birthday! Here’s to many more years 🙂
Glad you both had such a great day
Nantucket is the perfect place for a great day 🙂

I never get tired of revisiting Nantucket, I love the style of the houses and the lifestyle so much.
Nantucket seems so incredibly charming! The architecture, the atmosphere, the ocean… and the delicious-looking food makes it all the more appealing as a destination. We would loooove to visit New England some day. Thank you for sharing and letting us live vicariously through you!
A wonderful place to celebrate Jon’s birthday. Nantucket looks delightful and so relaxing. Beach, good food and a lovely weather – sounds like a prefect day. Wishing you and Jon many more great days and birthdays.
Happy birthday! It looked like a great time- and that sandwich looked amaaaaaziiinggggg
Is “Hunky Dory” a private residence or a B&B? Talk about charming. You’ve got me wanting to add another Hilderbrand novel to my list if only to enjoy her descriptions of the Nantucket scene. Also, thanks for the rec on “The Gilded Age”. We’re really enjoying the drama and hoping for more seasons. We’re midway through Season 2 and they just stole The Breakers for one of their scenes in Newport.
What’s the top dinner dish? Looks interesting. Happy belated ! Looks like you had a nice day all around.
