Eel Point is the farthest Northwest point of the island, past Dionis and just north of Madaket. This small area consists of significantly sized lots and large homes which are mostly seasonal residences. Almost all the homes in this area are waterfront or have designated beach access. The name of this area comes from the beach at the northwest end which is also called Eel Point. This beach can be driven on and is a fantastic fishing and sunset watching spot. The water here is warm and calm earning this area the nickname of "The Bathtub" With amazing views of Nantucket Sound, Madaket Harbor and surrounding dunes and grasslands it is a picturesque summer location.
