Guide
Good to know
Go for solitude and sunsets
This beach consistently draws fewer visitors than other Nantucket shores, making it ideal for peaceful evenings and photography.
Expect stronger waves and currents
The water here has notably bigger waves than calmer beaches, suitable for body surfing but challenging for casual swimmers.
Check lifeguard hours before afternoon
Lifeguard coverage ends at 5pm, so plan accordingly if safety supervision matters for your visit.
Watch for hazards in sand and water
Reviewers report sharp objects in the sand and a steep drop-off in the water near shore.
