Hi Kelsy,
You can go anywhere there is an ocean coastline. I guess you could even go to the Gulf coast, if you are lucky enough to hit the few times they get waves. Anywhere there is a resort town, there will be surf shops, and surf shops mean surf lessons.
Surfing is an ocean sport, that should only be practiced by persons who are confident and competent ocean swimmers, who are able to deal with undertows, rips, and sometimes very BIG waves. Even if you are a great swimmer, in a pool. If you aren’t a great ocean swimmer, master that first, then get on to surfing.
Lessons are the only sensible way to start surfing, either from a professional instructor, or surfing family or friends who are experienced surfers. There are way too many dangerous people in the water now, who THINK they can surf. Please don’t join their ranks.The VERY LAST THING the rest of us experienced surfers want is people to take silly on-line advice, and go down to the beach, grab a surfboard, and go out and get in our way.
Check out the link, and see if it gives you any ideas for destinations. (and by the way, Nantucket should be fine, in the Summer).http://www.surfline.com/travel/#4716

Good luck and welcome to surfing!
