Sconset Bluff Walk

Details unconfirmedPreserve · Nantucket, MA
Right now

A narrow, uneven footpath tracing the top of the ocean bluff along 'Sconset's east shore. Most of the route crosses private front yards by long-standing public easement, so the etiquette is to stay on the trail and keep noise down.
