Nantucket Beaches - Monomoy

This quiet hamlet, just a mile from town, rests in one of the most scenic areas of the island. Spacious, sweeping lawns and wooded glens give the area a rural feel, while the nearby marshy creeks are a haven for wildlife. There is no better view of town than from Monomoy, a view that includes the pristine sweep of Coatue, the comforting swirl of boat traffic, and beautiful summer sunsets. While there is a distinct heritage and feel of "summering," Monomoy is an ideal getaway in any season. This is also an excellent spot for shellfishing, and a prime location to moor your boat in the waters outside your door.
