Polpis
is a village, or "populated place," located on the east end of Nantucket Island in southern Massachusetts. It's just minutes from all the attractions that Nantucket has to offer, including the miles of beautiful white sand beaches. History buffs love Nantucket - the whole island is a designated National Historic District, so you don't have to look far. It contains one of the highest concentrations of pre-Civil War structures in the United States. Bicycling is a very popular way to get around the island. Travel the cobblestone streets that are lined with fine shops and boutiques, art galleries and museums. Guided tours of the island are also available. Restaurants abound, whether formal or informal (fresh Nantucket seafood is, of course, part of the whole experience of the island.) You can explore the lighthouses, picnic at the beach, swim, kayak, go kiteboarding, sailing, fishing - the list of activities is endless. Special events on Nantucket Island include a Daffodil Festival in the spring and the Annual Christmas Stroll (usually held the first weekend in December as part of a month long Nantucket Noel Celebration.) If you don't want to bike or drive your own car, seasonal shuttle buses run May to October to the beaches and other locations. Rental cars, taxis and limousine services are also available.

Polpis Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Nantucket Island has a moderate climate with four distinct seasons. The surrounding Atlantic Ocean moderates the climate of the offshore islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, making it milder than that of inland Massachusetts. Rain and fog are not uncommon on Nantucket Island - even in the summertime. Spring is a short season and snow flurries are possible even in April. Summers are quite warm and humid, but with cooling ocean breezes that keep it from becoming too uncomfortable. Fall is very pleasant with mild, sunny days and cool, crisp nights. Extreme weather is a possibility every few years, including nor'easters and hurricanes. However, hurricanes generally weaken to a tropical storm by the time they reach the island.
