Galley Beach

"Gallery Beach is open all day, but it's really perfect for date night—think amazing views from a space overlooking the beach, or the option to dine on the sand itself. Yes, you can sit with your toes in the sand—either under a tent or the sky—and get down with things like yuzu butter-poached local lobster and a Return of the Rose spritz with vodka, ramazzotti rosato, grapefruit, and rose water." - tanya edwards

"My favorite restaurant in the world is called Galley Beach, and it's right on the beach, close to town, and it has the most epic sunsets. They have the most epic crab cake—that's what I usually get."

"Cocktails on the Beach Galley Beach has one of the best locations on Nantucket. With views out over the ocean from the dining room and tables spilling onto the beach, there’s not a bad seat in the house. It's a popular spot with a stylish crowd, and the martinis flow freely. Come early to snag a seat for sunset, one of the best shows in town, and as the evening gets underway enjoy the breeze on your face and scrunching your toes in the sand while tiki torches light up the night."

"While pricey (even by Nantucket standards), Galley Beach is one of the most scenic spots to have a drink on the island. Dip your feet in the sand while you enjoy a well-crafted spritz at the beach lounge and bar, open all day. The sunset views here are spectacular. Drinkers and diners can make reservations 14 days in advance of their visit." - Katie Faust Stryjewski, Eater Staff
