The Atlantic coast of eastern Nantucket Island is defined here by its unique maritime character and dense residential clusters. Siasconset sits at the southern reach of the sheet, with its intricate street grid featuring Main Sias St and Ocean Ave leading toward the coast at Codfish Park. The terrain is characterized by coastal ponds and landmarks, notably Sesachacha Pond and the prominent Sankaty Head Light atop Sankaty Head. Further north, the thin barrier beach at Haulover and the settlement of Wauwinet separate the ocean from the inner harbor waters. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting this seasonal and year-round community, including the Siasconset Golf Course and numerous coastal roads like Baxter Rd and Quidnet Rd that connect isolated hamlets like Quidnet and Squam along the bluff.
