The area north of downtown and west of Brant Point is known as the Cliff. Like its neighboring areas, the Cliff is highly sought-after for both home buyers and vacation renters. Beautiful white sandy beaches and views of Nantucket Sound and Nantucket Harbor really make this a stand out location. Primarily residential with a peaceful vibe, the set back roads give way to stately homes, many with excellent water views. The Westmoor Club is also in this area, a full-service private country club with activities for the whole family.

Beaches

Here you will find the beloved Steps Beach. Aptly named for the steep steps, you will be treated to a beautiful ocean vista high above which then leads down to soft white sand dunes below. Perfect for children and beachcombers, the water is warm and shallow and often the ebbing tide gives way to a sandbar. Steps Beach is flanked by Jetties Beach and Cliffside Beach to the east and Capaum Beach and Washing Pond Beach to the west.

Walking & Biking

For a picturesque hike for you and your dog, Tupancy Links is located about a mile up the Cliff Road from Town. Walk on wide open trails that lead to a spectacular view of the north shore. There is no beach access here. There is also a bike path that runs along the Cliff Road and connects at the top with the Madaket Road bike path leading to the western part of the island.

Restaurants

There are a couple great choices for food in the area, if a break from dining in Town is desired. Nestled on the sand, the Galley Beach is regarded as one of the best dining experiences not only on the island, but on the East Coast. Their menu stuns with the freshest seafood, produce from local farms, and a sumptuous cocktail and wine list. Take in the sunset outside in their beach lounge as you listen to songs of shore birds and the gentle lap of waves on the sand. For something a bit more casual, Something Natural is an island favorite for a casual lunch. Grab sandwiches and delicious cookies to bring to the beach or sit and enjoy them at a picnic table in their huge hydrangea-lined yard. It’s a perfect spot for the kids to run around, climb trees, or captain their yard boat! And make sure to save room in your bag for a few loaves of their famous bread varieties.

Events

On Independence Day and for the Boston Pops performance in August, the Cliff area, especially Steps Beach, is a favorite place to enjoy the fireworks displays.
