Review:
Francis Street Beach is a small harbor beach close to downtown Nantucket just a few minutes’ walk from Main Street. Like other beaches on the island’s north shore, the waters of this beach are calm and the surf is gentle. It is great for swimming even for small kids, but keep in mind that there is no lifeguard. There is a Jungle Jim for the kids along with kayak rentals and restrooms.
The views of the harbor and Nantucket Sound are wonderful from Francis Street Beach. You can bring your dog but must keep him or her on a leash. Stay away from Brant Point as the current is very strong.
Find it at this Address: Washington St & Lafayette St, Nantucket, MA, 02554-0000, Phone: 508-325-5395
