Baret Island is a small, sandy but mostly-rocky, oval-shaped island in Buzzards Bay; it is part of the town of Gosnold, Massachusetts, USA. The island is just off the near mid-northern coast of Nashawena Island, northeast of Rock Island, southeast of a peninsula known as 'The Neck' on Nashawena Island, and directly north of Middle Pond, also on Nashawena.

Famous quotes containing the word island:
“I ... would rather be in dependance on Great Britain, properly limited, than on any nation upon earth, or than on no nation. But I am one of those too who rather than submit to the right of legislating for us assumed by the British parliament, and which late experience has shewn they will so cruelly exercise, would lend my hand to sink the whole island in the ocean.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
