Surfside

Pristine beaches and fresh salty air await on Nantucket’s beautiful south shore. Surfside is just an hour’s walk from downtown (about 7,000 steps), a 3-mile bike ride along the Surfside bike path or a 15-minute ride on the WAVE Surfside route.

Walking:

The Surfside area offers four beautiful beaches to explore—Fisherman’s, Stone’s, Nobadeer and Surfside—all within a mile of scenic, walkable coastline.
