Not cheap, but The Waiwaiunet has a free water taxi picking up in town and providing a great trip around Great Point so you can dine there. If you like boat rides its also return trip and makes for a good deal. Very beautiful spot. But the meal itself is pricey. Lunch and dinner.

Whaling Museum (many interactive exhibits on this key history of Nantucket) and Loines Observatory (night star lessons plus a view thru telescope to Jupiter to blow your mind!)

HI Hostel Nantucket

The Robert B. Johnson Memorial Hostel, named after a former HI-USA Executive Director, was built as a lifesaving station in 1873, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lookout station, or cupola, is still accessible from the women’s dormitory. The hostel is just minutes away from Surfside Beach and only 3.5 miles from the ferry docks and Nantucket village. At the Nantucket Hostel, there is a fully equipped kitchen for preparing your own meals, a large dining area, outdoor picnic tables and bicycle racks. There are single sex and coed dorms and the hostel is a great place to bring your group. Breakfast, wifi access and parking are free. All bed linens and a bath towel are included in the overnight rate. The hostel also has one of the few sand volleyball courts on the island! From the hostel take the bike path into town and check out the Whaling Museum to learn about the island's fascinating past. You can explore the island by bicycle, in-line skates, kayak, or on foot. Finish your day off with a seafood dinner or a sunset on the beach. | more......
