Nantucket is an island about 30 miles (50 km) by ferry south from Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Although an island including the towns of Nantucket, Siasconset and Wauwinet, the locals often refer to the area as if it were all one community. Together with the small islands of Tuckernuck and Muskeget, it constitutes the town of Nantucket and Nantucket County. It is primarily known as a tourist destination and summer colony. Due to tourists and seasonal residents, the population of the island increases to at least 50,000 during the summer months.
