Great for nature lovers, diversity

busy in summer, empty in winter
In a nutshell
Good time to visit if you want to see the area. If you want to EXPERIENCE the cape, wait until the crowds come back and the temps go up.
ChristinaNest Says: Coming from Europe, where I saw many churches and cathedrals, for me it was interesting to see the variety of churches in America and also the different architecture of most of them. In Europe most churches are made of stone, in Chathem they were made of wood, the same as...
ChristinaNest Says: There are many ponds in and around Chatham. There are salt water and fresh water ponds, big and small, where you can fish, boat, sail, water-ski or bathe. There are so many that it's confusing. I liked to ride my bike, take a road and go wherever it took me. I always ended...
ChristinaNest Says: The scenic shore Road offers very nice views of the ocean. That's where the Fish Pier, the most expensive houses and hotels in Chatham are. I used to ride my bike along the road on the way to work every morning. Now I remember every curve of the road, downhills and uphills,...
ChristinaNest Says: Chatham has the typical small town main street with the oldest buildings, churches, the bank, some stores, ice cream and candy stores, the library (free membership and internet), a pharmacy with a photo lab, gift stores, antiques, restaurants, fast food, etc. Along the Main...
ChristinaNest Says: This nice Victorian building in fact used to be the Chatham Railroad Station. It was built in 1887 and served a small connection line to Harwich. The seven mile long line to Harwich was built in seven days. When motor vehicles became more wide spread the passenger traffic of...
ChristinaNest Says: The Fish Pier was on my way to work ( a 5mile bike ride) so sometimes I stopped there to enjoy the view and take a few picures. It's quite small, with a few fishing boats and may hungry sea-gulls. I've been told that you can buy fresh fish from there. It is located on Shore...
Seal Watch - not to be missed!
ChristinaNest Says: I think this is the best thing to do on the Cape, I even liked it better than whale watching because you go really close to the animals and can see hundreds of them. They are so cute and curious. After you reach the shore where they are resting the young ones swim closer to...
ChristinaNest Says: There are many beaches in Chatham, after all, it's at the tip of the 'elbow' and is surrounded on three sides by water. As far as I know the Lighthouse beach is the biggest one and it can get very crowded. I was a bit surprised the first few times I went to the beach on the...
ChristinaNest Says: The Chatham LightChatham's most popular spot.Built in 1808, it is Cape Cod's second lighthouse. Just opposite of it there is a panorama spot from where you can see the huge beach below, sand bars and the ocean.

Wayside Inn: Historic Chatham Inn
dramaced Says: The Wayside Inn in the perfect combination of classic white clapboard New England inn--it is on an original Stagecoach route--and upgraded, boutique-style inn with fireplaces and jacuzzis or private patios featured in many rooms. Their pool is nice sized with a patio for...
Impudent Oyster: Wonderful Seafood
jelw Says: This is a great restaurant for wonderfully fresh local seafood in a charming atmosphere. Head to the bar for lunch or have dinner in the upper/main dining room. They have an extensive menu filled with American and Portuguese styled offerings. A cosy bar to imbibe in and on...
South Lounge at Chatham Bars Inn: Afternoon tea at Chatham Bars Inn
aukahkay Says: My hosts at Cape Cod took me for afternoon tea at the Chatham Bars Inn one November afternoon. The South Lounge at Chatham Bars Inn is the perfect setting for our leisurely afternoon tea, with a generous and varied menu of finger sandwiches, tea breads, cakes, savories and...
Impudent Oyster: Scallop Paradise
galt35 Says: Wonderful Food in a casual atmosphere. The best appetizers I have ever had. The Devils on Horseback and Clams Casino had us before we could get to the entrees. Scallops wrapped in Bacon and champange sauce.
Squire: Local Seafood and More
koekjecait Says: A bar and restaurant with video games in back to keep the kids entertained as well as a jukebox which caters to tourists and locals alike. The Squire features fresh seafood but has food for all tastes. Kids Menu. Chicken Fingers ;-)

This is the only decent bar not only in Chatham but maybe in this part of the Cape. A lot of young people gather here, both Americans and foreigners. There's a juke box and table football. They have a variety of drinks, and enough orange juice for the under 21's. On the left side is the bar, and on the left, the restaurant but I've never been there.
The restaurant has a web-site.

ChristinaNest Says: Very nice shoes, including some European brands, such as Campers. That's about the only place in the Cape that you can find such shoes. there are also hand bags. I worked there in the Fall of 2001 so if you go there and meet Laura (the manager) or Tanya, her daughter, please...
The Chatham Zoo: No zoo at the Zoo
ChristinaNest Says: The Chatham Zoo is the best gift store and I’m not only saying that because I worked there but also because I’ve been to all such stores and compared what they offered. This was my second job in the summer of 2001. The store has a huge variety of souvenirs: all sort of stuff...

Tourists on holiday often forget that the natural laws are still in effect. When we were in chatham some young people had ignored the ""Current Warning" signs and attempted to reach a sandbar against some strong currents. things worked out but they were some scary moments.

Chatham's nearly surrounded by the sea, you only need to go nearly any direction to find the water!
Equipment: Sailboat Rentals are available at Ridgevale Beach and larger Sailboat Charters are available at various locations such as FirstLight Sea Charters.

I spent about 4 months there mostly working on a student work&travel program but had the chance to see a lot on the Cape and in the North East of the USA. I was surprised that there was no separate......
Drive to Hyannis and catch a plane over to Nantucket. Drive up to Wellfleet to Marconi Beach. Drive up to Provincetown.
What a great place to get away from it all.
Heading to "The Cape " in the off season is a great escape. The crowds are gone. The locals are more friendly and the beaches are empty. If the idea of a little solitude and quiet is what you are in...
Cape Cod is a wonderful place to vacation. There are so many activities to do and things to see. Fishing is a very big industry. We wanted to see the fishing boats coming in with their catch.
