Shimmo is located on the north side of Polpis Road and the area is a combination of properties located in the woods and properties with wide open, rolling terrain. Many Shimmo properties have views of Nantucket Harbor, Coatue and back towards Town: some are fortunate enough to share in water access for boating and bathing. Shimmo is a residential area, rural in character and is located only a few miles from Town. The Polpis Road bike path is convenient to Shimmo Pond Road and Moors End Farm, with a farm stand, is at the beginning of Shimmo.
