1. Brant Point Lighthouse

As one of Nantucket’s most iconic landmarks, Brant Point Lighthouse offers a picture-perfect coastal setting. Propose at golden hour as the sun sets over the harbor, with sailboats in the background. It’s classic, nautical, and completely timeless.

2. Steps Beach

Tucked away and less crowded, Steps Beach features soft dunes, scenic bluffs, and panoramic ocean views. The steps themselves add a bit of drama to your entrance, and the setting feels serene and intimate. Perfect for a private moment followed by a beachside walk.

3. Downtown Nantucket

Charming cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and harbor views set the scene for a storybook proposal. Choose a quiet morning or an evening stroll after dinner. The blend of maritime history and cozy elegance makes it unforgettable.

4. Cisco Beach

Popular but never too crowded, Cisco Beach is known for its surf, dunes, and wild beauty. Propose with your toes in the sand and the sound of waves behind you. It's simple, scenic, and effortlessly romantic.

5. Sconset Bluff Walk

This peaceful path winds past rose-covered cottages and offers stunning ocean views along the edge of the island. It’s quiet and romantic, perfect for a surprise proposal with classic Nantucket charm. Every corner feels like a postcard.

6. At-Home

Sometimes the most heartfelt proposals happen right at home. In Nantucket, set the mood with string lights on the porch, a fresh seafood dinner, and a playlist filled with your favorite coastal memories. Add charming touches like hydrangeas from the garden, driftwood accents, or candlelight for a cozy, island-inspired feel. A home proposal gives you the freedom to create a moment that’s thoughtful, relaxed, and completely your own.

7. Budget-Friendly

A romantic proposal doesn’t require a luxury budget. Nantucket offers plenty of scenic and heartfelt spots that are beautiful, meaningful, and completely free. Take a peaceful walk through Lily Pond Park, catch the sunset at Jetties Beach, or plan a quiet moment near the dramatic cliffs at Sankaty Head Lighthouse. If you're up for a little adventure, head out to Great Point in the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge for a stunning and secluded proposal. Even the garden or shoreline near The Wauwinet Resort can provide a breathtaking setting without the need for extravagance. These simple, natural spots offer the perfect backdrop for a memorable and romantic proposal.
