  • Absolutely gorgeous spot to view the sunset all year around. It can get crowded so get there early to ensure a beautiful viewing spot.

  • A great beach to visit. Crystalline water and extremely clean beach. It is a lovely spot on Nantucket.

  • Spent an afternoon here with my daughter. She took her first surfing lesson here and had the time of her life. The instructors were friendly and very patient. They had her up and surfing in less than an hour.
  • best beach for swimming & having fun! often crowded but that’s cuz its the best.
  • I enjoyed watching the surfing class and only having a few other people on the beach. Easy to get to, and plenty of parking for bike and/or car. Available outside restrooms as well.
  • There once was man from Nantucket, who made the mistake of skinny dipping Jaws took off his 3rd leg.
  • Beautiful spot, beware beach erosion makes it impossible to get off the beach except in a limited number of access points. No services so byob.
