Spring is one of the most underrated times to visit Nantucket. While summer draws the crowds, spring offers a slower, more local rhythm—when shopkeepers begin reopening their doors, daffodils line the cobblestone streets, and the island feels like it’s stretching awake after a long winter.
This photo journal captures the details that define the season: ferry arrivals with barely a line, window boxes in bloom, near-empty beaches, and layered outfits made for coastal wind. Whether you’re planning a trip around the Daffodil Festival or visiting mid-week in May, these 30 images highlight the textures, tones, and quiet beauty of Nantucket in bloom.
