Easy walk or bike ride from town. No lifeguard. Strong current and high boat traffic. Though technically a swimming beach – Brant Point is much more suited to sitting a watching the harbor traffic. Scenic beach with Brant Point Lighthouse, the second oldest lighthouse in the US. Here is where to go to wave goodbye to friends and family departing on the Steamship.
Brant Point is one of the most photographed spots on the island and is a special favorite for wedding photos. It is also possible to have your wedding right at Brant Point, but be sure to get permission from the Coast Guard.

Perfect for small children, this beach has calm water (there is a bit of wake when the ferries go past) and Brant Point Lighthouse. It’s a wide sandy beach, and in June wild roses bloom, mixing their sweet fragrance with the fresh salt breeze. Good place for morning coffee.
Dionis Beach is a north shore beach on Nantucket with calmer water and views across Nantucket Sound. The beach has dunes, seasonal restrooms, and areas for fishing and beach access. Dionis Beach is accessed by Dionis Beach Road and is located away from the more heavily traveled beach areas on the island.
Steps Beach is located below “The Cliff” and is accessed by a path between mansions and a tall staircase leading down the bluff to the beach. This beach has soft, white sand, calm water along Nantucket Sound, and is a spot for swimming and relaxing by the shore. At low tide, there are wide sandbars within easy swimming distance. Watch your toes for the occasional grumpy crab.
Francis Street Beach is located on Nantucket Harbor a few blocks from downtown Nantucket. This small beach has calm harbor water and views across the harbor and shoreline. Known as a great launch point for kayaking. There is no parking at this beach. Takeout food is available at nearby establishments (not at the beach).
40th Pole is a north shore beach on Nantucket with shallow, clear water and calm surf. The beach is popular with families, young children, and for surfcasting. Seasonal restrooms are available, though there are no lifeguards or other amenities. Access is available by 4WD vehicle (with proper permit sticker) via Eel Point Road, and the beach is open for beach driving year-round unless closed for nesting shorebirds.
