Across from what used to be the Youth Hostel, this beach is maintained by the Nantucket Land Bank. There is parking for just 3 vehicles, but it is a short walk from Surfside Beach. There are benches near the start of the beach entry path. Getting to the shoreline here involves a long set of stairs (gradual, not steep), and a hike along a path over dunes that is impractical for anyone with any mobility issues.
There’s a fairly long walk that starts with a staircase and leads you over a dune to get to the ocean at this beach, but the trek is worth it! This is not a busy beach, so if you’re looking for a quiet, unspoiled beach, this is it. There’s no parking at this beach, but it’s a short walk from Surfside Beach, so you can walk from there.
