Confirmed from 'Sconset Bluff Walk's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
This footpath with scenic sea & heathland views runs through backyards of homes along the bluff.
What runners say about 'Sconset Bluff Walk
“This walk is a little strange walking through everyone's backyard but is also amazing offering up great views of the ocean, beach an grand cliff side homes.”
The Sconset Bluff Walk is a true Nantucket gem. Winding through the backyards of magnificent cliffside mansions, this public footpath offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty and architectural grandeur.
The walk was wonderful. I really enjoyed traveling through this wonderful place. The sound of the ocean and the hydrangeas growing near each house create aesthetic pleasure and relaxation for the soul. incredible nature combined with luxurious houses.
Nice little walk thru people back yards. The house were very nice and beautiful on the white patio road. Once on the dirt path, the rest are pretty much the same. I would turn around and enjoy the rest of the very small town. Unless, you want to see the lighthouse, then keep going or use the main road to walk faster.
15 minute $2 bus ride from historic Nantucket Town Center. Beautiful walk behind carefully landscaped classic New England Style homes on one side, and beautiful beach and ocean the other. Very tranquil and inspiring.
