Review & FAQ:
Nestled along the shore of Nantucket Harbor is the hidden gem known as Cathcart Beach. This small and out-of-the-way driving beach is located between the Shimmo and Monomoy areas of Nantucket and is the perfect beach to visit for an afternoon of kayaking with kids. Cathcart Beach is arguably at its best during the summer as the water is shallow, calm, and warm – perfect for families coming by with young children. Get in a great view of the harbor while enjoying the beach and the water, and be sure to come early if you’re visiting in the summer as parking can get tricky. It’s important for visitors to Cathcart Beach to note that there are no nearby amenities for the beach other than seasonal restrooms care by the Nantucket Land Bank.
