Cisco Beach
Cisco Beach is a popular destination for those seeking a blend of adventure and relaxation, with its strong surf and wide sandy stretches. Known for its excellent conditions for surfing and bodyboarding, it's a favorite among water sports enthusiasts. The beach offers a more natural and rugged atmosphere, with easy access from the parking lot via a ramp down to the shore. A hot dog stand is open in the parking lot most days that offers hot dogs, chips, and cold drinks for sale. Surfboard and wetsuit rentals as well as surf lessons are available during the summer months through Nantucket Island Surf School. Whether you're coming for a surf session or simply to take in the coastal views, Cisco Beach provides a great spot for beachgoers.
