Cisco
is the name of a beach located on southwest side of Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massachusetts. Cisco Beach is somewhat more secluded than other beaches on the island and surfing is popular here due to the heavy surf. However, the surf and rip tides make it unsuitable for swimming, especially for children. Cisco offers the same unspoiled beauty as the rest of Nantucket Island, which is one of the state's most visited tourist destinations. The entire island of Nantucket is a designated National Historic District and contains one of the highest concentrations of pre-Civil War structures in the United States. Nearly forty percent of the island is protected conservation land, and the island is known for its' beautiful, wide sandy beaches - and Cisco Beach is one of the widest. Nantucket has cobblestone streets lined with fine shops and boutiques, art galleries and museums. Guided tours of the island are also available. Restaurants abound, whether formal or informal (fresh Nantucket seafood is, of course, part of the whole experience of the island.) Special events on Nantucket Island include a Daffodil Festival in the spring and the Annual Christmas Stroll (usually held the first weekend in December as part of a month long Nantucket Noel Celebration.) Seasonal shuttle buses run May to October to the beaches and other locations. Bicycles are a popular means of transportation, and rental cars, taxis and limousine services are also available.

Cisco Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Nantucket Island has a moderate climate with four distinct seasons. The surrounding Atlantic Ocean moderates the climate of the offshore islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, making it milder than that of inland Massachusetts. Rain and fog are not uncommon on Nantucket Island - even in the summertime. Spring is a short season and snow flurries are possible even in April. Summers are quite warm and humid, but with cooling ocean breezes that keep it from becoming too uncomfortable. Fall is very pleasant with mild, sunny days and cool, crisp nights. Extreme weather is a possibility every few years, including nor'easters and hurricanes. However, hurricanes generally weaken to a tropical storm by the time they reach the island.
