Baret Island is a small, sandy but mostly-rocky, oval-shaped island in Buzzards Bay; it is part of the town of Gosnold, in Dukes County and the Elizabeth Islands in 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.
