Though Nantucket is graced with many miles of beaches, little of the coastline is actually public property. Many property owners have generously allowed public access to their beachfront. In return for this privilege – and it is indeed a privilege – we ask that both visitors and residents treat all of our island beaches with respect. This includes obeying “No Trespassing” signs, using only designated entry ©Lawrel Strauch-Spera points, and disposing of litter properly. Thank you for your coopera F
