Nantucket Beaches, Massachusetts
From the northeastern shore of Coatue to the western tip of Madaket, Nantucket has some of the finest beaches in the northeastern United States. The north shore beaches are protected by Nantucket Sound and generally have few waves. The south shore beaches, open to the ocean have large waves and strong currents. There are however times when a strong wind from the north causes the waves to be large on the north shore which also causes the south shore waves to decrease significantly. While this is a rare occurrence, it does happen. Check the prevailing winds before choosing your beach for the day. Eel Point is the best beach on Nantucket for collecting seashells. You can walk all around the point and find some shells that you won't find on any of the other beaches. Bring a bucket to fill with shells.
