Between Dionis and Jetties beaches; access from Cliff Road. No lifeguard, no facilities, very little parking. Gentle surf; sandbar. Many steep steps must be descended to get to the beach and ascended when you leave. Gentle surf. Lovely views of Nantucket Sound and Great Point. Nights during August and September, bioluminscent creatures can be seen in the water.

If you don’t mind the stairs (there’s a reason this is called Steps Beach) this is a beautiful island beach. It’s popular with photographers, and a good spot to watch the sun set if you don’t want to travel to Cisco. Calm surf and a sandbar at low tide. Also a spot to see the bioluminescence. Very little parking, so walk here or bike.
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.
Jetties Beach is a north shore beach on Nantucket with calm water and a wide stretch of sand. The beach has seasonal lifeguards, restrooms, showers, chair and umbrella rentals, and a playground area. Dining is available at Sandbar at Jetties Beach. The beach is accessible by NRTA shuttle and has nearby parking, making it one of the more accessible beach areas on Nantucket.
Children’s Beach is located on Nantucket Harbor a short walk from downtown. The beach has calm harbor water along with seasonal lifeguards, restrooms, a playground area, and a café. A large grass yard has a few shade trees and picnic tables. Events, concerts, and activities are held at the beach bandstand during the summer season.
Brant Point Beach is located near Brant Point Lighthouse at the entrance to Nantucket Harbor. The beach offers views of boats entering and leaving the harbor along with views of the lighthouse and surrounding shoreline. Located close to town, the beach is within walking distance from downtown Nantucket and is one of the more accessible beach areas near the harbor.
