Gosnold, town in Massachusetts, United States
Gosnold is a town in Dukes County, Massachusetts, consisting of several islands off the coast. The settlement features scattered residential areas and natural landscapes characteristic of the maritime region.
Gosnold was named after Bartholomew Gosnold, an early English explorer who navigated the region. The islands were later established as a municipality and developed into a small, isolated community.
Access is limited since the islands are reachable only by boat and lack public transportation options. Visitors should plan ahead for ferry schedules and account for weather-dependent travel conditions.
