Do You Need A Beach Permit to Access Great Point Lighthouse?

For over 40 years, we at Affordable Rentals have been offering premier Jeep rentals for visitors to Nantucket. A key highlight of the island is the Great Point Lighthouse, a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike. But did you know, to access this beautiful spot, you need a beach permit? Let’s dive into why this is so.

Great Point Lighthouse Is a Must-Visit Site

Great Point Lighthouse, located at the northernmost tip of Nantucket, is a beacon of history and beauty. When you’re behind the wheel of our Jeep rental, you’ll experience the sheer delight of driving through picturesque landscapes to reach this iconic monument. The panoramic views from the lighthouse are stunning—a sight you shouldn’t miss when in Nantucket.

What’s a Beach Permit?

A beach permit is required to access certain parts of the island, including Great Point. These permits are essential for preserving the natural habitat and maintaining the cleanliness of the area. When you rent from us, we ensure your car rental comes with both the Town of Nantucket beach permit and the Oversand permit required for Great Point.

Affordable Rentals Makes Your Trip Easier

Because of our decades of experience serving visitors and locals on the island, we make your journey to Great Point hassle-free. Besides a SUV rental or a Jeep rental, we also provide you with a beach permit, saving you time and stress. However, please note that a beach day pass, paid at the gate, is still required for the maintenance of the area north of the Wauwinet Gate house.

At Affordable Rentals, we strive to make your Nantucket exploration as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Ready to explore the charm of Great Point Lighthouse in one of our rentals? Contact us at (508) 313-9313 or book a rental to start your adventure today!
