Brant Point lighthouse sits welcomingly at the opening of the Nantucket Harbor and anchors this lovely seaside neighborhood on the outskirts of town.

Mansions and cottages abut each other here—equidistant to town and popular Jetties Beach. From Town, follow the northern shore west to the Cliff where the landscape juts dramatically over the beach, facing the calm sound.

The homes in this area are lovely and often have great views of the harbor or sound. At the edge of the neighborhood, the Cliff Road bike path carries riders toward Dionis along beautiful rolling hills and ponds.
