Madaket, Nantucket Island

Hands down the best sunset on Nantucket, located at the west end of the island, Madaket is known for its laid-back style. Madaket features everything Nantucket is famous for — boating, fishing, scalloping, walking, and biking.  Madaket Harbor and Hither Creek have an “Old Nantucket” feel with a landscape dotted with simple beach houses and vistas out to Tuckernuck Island. Take in the endless shoreline and beautiful rolling waves. Smith’s Point is located at the tip of the West End and is a great spot to escape the crowds and enjoy some world-class fishing. Don’t forget the après beach at Millie’s Restaurant and Market, known for its casual dining scene and margaritas!
