About Siasconset

See all hotspots at Siasconset

Siasconset, commonly known as Sconset, is located at the eastern end of Nantucket about eight miles from town. Originally a fishing village, this charming and picturesque community combines modest, rose-covered cottages with elegant new homes. The beach, which is located at the end of Milestone Road, has heavy surf. There are lifeguards but no food or restrooms at the beach.

Sconset can be reached by way of a shuttle service, a private bus service, the 6-mile ride on Milestone Bike Path, or the less direct 9-mile Polpis bike path.
