Cisco is located on the south shore of Nantucket about four miles from town and is a popular spot for vacationers and residents alike. Easy to access and just remote enough, Cisco offers a quieter and more relaxed way of life with only the amenities you really need nearby.
Cisco Beach
Cisco Beach offers a wide, white sand shore. Big waves and strong currents make it popular for surfers and swimmers and at low tide beachgoers can wade in the shallow sandbar. For those with a fishing license, the beach is a favorite spot for catching striped bass and bird watchers will enjoy observing a wide variety of fowl both migratory and non-migrating.
Cisco Brewery
Home to the “happiest place on earth” Cisco Brewery, “where good vibes are always in season,” visitors can relax with the whole family (including four legged friends). Kick back and listen to some live tunes, while sipping a cold local beer, craft cocktail made with Triple Eight Vodka or a glass of wine from Nantucket Vineyards. There is never a shortage of fare and the array of food trucks on site any given day will have bites sure to please everyone in your party.
Bartlett’s Farm
While exploring Cisco be sure to pay a visit to Bartlett’s Farm. Encompassing 100 acres, Bartlett’s Farm is the oldest and largest farm on Nantucket. Family owned and known for their juicy native tomatoes and crisp local corn, Bartlett’s offers the true New England farm experience. Take in everything this farm has to offer with a guided tour on foot or guided hayride, by picking your own produce, and sampling a prepared meal or picnic to go from the farm kitchen.
Outdoor Activities
The Cisco area is great for biking and the best way to ensure a parking spot at the beach is to take two wheels. If you are a novice surfer you’re in luck because Nantucket Island Surf School offers lessons and rentals for visitors looking to give surfing or paddle boarding a try.
