Millie's
Millie’s is another treasured restaurant outside of town. Located in Madaket, its westward location is prime for unparalleled sunset viewing. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back and after-beach attire is acceptable. The “California baja-style menu” of fresh, local seafood offers endless choices of quesadillas, tacos, po’ boys and salads. Making a choice is the only dilemma at hand. Millie’s is the perfect location for families, groups of friends, or couples. A take-out window is also easily accessible if you fancy dining on the beach instead. With the option of outdoor seating or upstairs dining with panoramic views Madaket’s greenery and the ocean, Millie’s relaxed and “beachy” ambience is unrivaled on Nantucket.
We recommend: Millie’s Margarita, chips and guacamole, “Hither Creek” taco

Sandbar Jetties Beach Bar and Restaurant
Just about a 10 minute walk from downtown Nantucket, Sandbar is a waterfront beach restaurant oasis. The spacious open-air restaurant and bar offers plenty of seating, or choose a picnic table on the sand under the sun. The menu features traditional clambakes and seafood, sandwiches, burgers, and fresh raw bar. Come for a cocktail and sit in colorful Adirondack chairs and dig your toes in the sand overlooking Jetties Beach and Nantucket Sound. Sandbar is the perfect spot for kids to run around on the sand or play at the Jettie’s playground. With a casual atmosphere, frequent live music, and quintessential location, Sandbar is the ultimate summer dining experience.
