Description
As of June 29, 2022, this beach is unguarded and caution is urged. Severe erosion has made access extremely difficult.
At the far western end of the island, Madaket is a popular beach, especially for watching incredible sunsets. Sand is soft. The surf can be heavy, so check beach conditions. There are some lifeguards, but not the full length of the beach. No restrooms, and no food service, so bring a picnic . There is some parking.
Madaket Beach is accessible by bike via a 5.5 mile paved bike path, or take the NRTA shuttle bus (seasonal).

1 Reviews on “Madaket Beach”
Madaket Beach is beautiful. Not too many people on the western shore of Nantucket. The water is not surf, not calm perfect for basking in the sun listening to the waves hit the shore, body surfing, swimming. You can walk for miles. The sand is very soft and welcoming.
I have spent many days after biking from town at this lovely place staying to watch the sun disappear below the horizon. An amazing day every time.
