Surfside

Family-Friendly Beach Living

Overview

Beach Access and Family Fun

Surfside offers some of Nantucket's best beach access and a family-friendly atmosphere on the island's south shore. This area features a wide, sandy beach perfect for swimming, surfing, and family activities, with properties ranging from beachfront estates to charming cottages. The Surfside Bike Path runs directly from downtown Nantucket to Surfside, making it easy to enjoy a scenic ride to the beach—perfect for a leisurely walk, jog, or bike ride.

The neighborhood provides easy access to Surfside Beach, one of the island's largest and most popular beaches, offering miles of sandy shoreline. The Atlantic-facing beach is known for its stronger waves, making it a favorite spot for surfers and boogie boarders, with local surf schools and rentals available. The beach is also ideal for surfcasting, where you can try your hand at catching bluefish or striped bass right from the shore. With plenty of space and great picnic spots, Surfside Beach is perfect for bringing food and drinks, and the beach has designated BBQ areas for those looking to grill.

Surfside appeals to families and beach lovers seeking easy access to the ocean, a relaxed atmosphere, and more affordable options than downtown or waterfront areas. The laid-back, beachy vibe attracts a mix of surfers, families, and beachgoers who enjoy swimming, picnicking, and biking along the scenic paths. Some parts of the beach allow for off-road driving with proper permits, giving access to more secluded spots along the coast. Regular service to and from town is provided by the island shuttle, 'the WAVE,' which stops near a popular summer snack bar.
