On a high rise of land looking across the harbor towards Town, sits Pocomo, an inviting retreat off the road to Wauwinet. Aptly named by the Wampanoags as "a round fishing place," Pocomo faces the shellfish-friendly waters of the upper harbor on two sides. With most homes situated away from the road and down long driveways, this is an ideal location for restful walks on isolated beaches, or for watching sailboarders skim by. Rural, remote, and relaxed, Pocomo is distinctly Nantucket. It is a perfect getaway spot for a family friendly clambake or a romantic dinner at the nearby Wauwinet Inn.
Location: Pocomo is located on the eastern side of Nantucket. It is a peaceful and secluded area, positioned on a peninsula that extends into Nantucket Harbor.

Pocomo Overall Vibe
Pocomo has an exclusive, serene vibe, with a more remote and natural setting compared to neighborhoods closer to town. It’s perfect for those who want to be surrounded by nature and enjoy the quiet beauty of Nantucket without the hustle and bustle of the island’s busier areas. The area offers a sense of tranquility, with access to beautiful waterfront views and outdoor activities. It’s more residential, with fewer commercial amenities, so it’s common for residents to make the short drive into town for dining and shopping.
