About This Beach
Madaket Beach, located on Nantucket Island, is known for its stunning sunsets, often described as the best on the island. While the waves can be rough at times, making it less suitable for young children, it offers a beautiful expanse of white sand and a generally peaceful atmosphere. Facilities are limited, primarily consisting of porta-potties, and parking can be scarce depending on the season.
