Charming Seaside Village


Must See

Address:

Siasconset, MA 02564

Description

Although its official name is Siasconset, you would be hard pressed to find anyone who calls this charming village anything other than 'Sconset. Primarily residential and full of small wooden cottages, some of which date from the village's origins as a small whaling outpost, the village is eight miles from the hustle and bustle of Nantucket town. Actors and artists have long chosen the simple, beautiful town and its beautiful beaches as a summer escape. The town has a few small shops for necessities, excellent restaurants, fresh sea air, and miles of uncrowded sandy beaches.
