Children’s Beach on Nantucket Harbor is appropriately named because it’s perfect for very young children. There is no surf. It’s very scenic, and your kids can watch the harbor activity and wave at the steamship passengers as they pass by. It offers a wheelchair-accessible restroom, lifeguards, an excellent snack bar, a playground, a grassy play area, picnic tables, and organized activities for kids. On Thursday and Sunday evenings, band concerts are held in July and August; on Friday evenings there are movies. Children’s Beach is well located and is a short 2 blocks from town.
