Top Things to Do in Miacomet

Miacomet Golf Course: Miacomet Golf Course is Nantucket’s only 18-hole public golf course and is a major draw for visitors to the neighborhood. The course is known for its well-maintained greens, scenic views, and coastal breezes, offering a challenging yet enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels.

The course also has a driving range and offers golf lessons. The clubhouse has a restaurant, making it a great spot to relax after a round of golf.

Miacomet Beach: Miacomet Beach is one of the main attractions in the neighborhood, offering a wide, sandy stretch of beach along the Atlantic Ocean. The waves can be strong, making it a great spot for surfing or boogie boarding, but it’s also a fantastic place for beach walks, sunbathing, and picnicking. It is also quieter than some of the more central beaches like Surfside, so it’s perfect for those looking for a more peaceful beach experience.

Miacomet Pond: Miacomet Pond is a small, freshwater pond located just behind Miacomet Beach. It’s a lovely spot for a quiet stroll or some birdwatching. Families often enjoy picnicking near the pond, and it provides a nice alternative to the ocean if you’re looking for a more tranquil water setting.

Explore Conservation Land: Miacomet is close to several large areas of protected conservation land, including the the Smooth Hummocks Coastal Preserve. This area is owned by the land bank and offers a series of trails traveling south along Miacomet Pond where it joins the dirt roads within Smooth Hummocks.

From Our Agents

“I love Miacoment because it's where a lot of family memories were made. My parents had owned a home on Miacomet Pond. We could kayak to the ocean. Lots of great places to run/ walk. It is near the golf course, and it is just beautiful and so peaceful!”
