It is enclosed by Cape Cod on the north, Nantucket on the south, and Martha's Vineyard on the west; between Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard it is connected to the Vineyard Sound. Ports on Nantucket Sound include Nantucket and Hyannis, Massachusetts.


Nantucket Sound has recently become a subject of controversy as a result of a plan to build the United States' first offshore wind farm there.
