Nantucket Beaches - Pocomo

On a high rise of land looking back 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 located away from the road, and down long, private 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, a perfect, and luxurious, getaway spot for a family friendly clambake or a romantic dinner at the nearby Wauwinet Inn.
